Many of the internet’s ills are based on widespread corporate surveillance online. This pervasive system, ran by corporations and governments, stifles our speech, and erodes our privacy. But together, we can dismantle it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/11/address-online-harms-we-must-first-do-privacy

Using secure messaging services for all communications and considering what content you post on social media are just two easy ways to build an online space that feels as free and safe as speaking with those closest to us in the offline world. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/02/building-community-privacy-plan

“Discord is in the business of making money by selling their users’ personal data,” EFF's Samantha Baldwin told @nprofile…sxam. “They are implementing ‘age verification’ to meet regulatory compliance and to collect more data about their customers, not protect children.” https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/04/dad-stuck-in-support-nightmare-after-teen-lied-about-age-on-discord/

"There is just plain, old-fashioned authoritarianism happening right now,” EFF’s Cindy Cohn told The Tech. “I think it is a mistake to think that this current moment was only created by tech, because then you don’t think hard about how to get out of it.” https://thetech.com/2026/04/09/wgs-luncheon-2026

Movie props, prototypes, and more could get wrapped up in the new 3D printing blocking mandates being considered in NY and CA. Beyond censorship, this could enable manufacturers to surveil and lock in users. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/print-blocking-anti-consumer-permission-print-part-1
