Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)

Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is the leading defender of civil liberties in the digital world. We promote innovator rights, support free speech online, fight illegal surveillance, advocate for a libre Internet, and protect rights and freedoms as our use of technology grows.

EFF champions user privacy, free expression, and innovation through impact litigation, policy analysis, grassroots activism, and technology development.

Why free software matters to the EFF

EFF relies heavily on free (as in freedom) source code to run our websites, develop privacy-enhancing tools, and create our activism campaigns. Unlike proprietary software that restricts users from tinkering with the programs they run, free software carries with it the ability to modify, study, share, and improve the program for yourself and the community.
