The Electronic Frontier Foundation is a non-profit civil liberties organization that defends your rights in the digital world. The EFF is responsible for weighing in on some of the nations toughest issues such as network neutrality, online privacy, peer-to-peer file sharing, and intellectual property. Their contributions have also given momentum for or against certain technologies like RFID, DMCA, Real ID, DRM, and a host of others aimed at enhancing, restricting, or abusing civil liberties of the general public.
Earlier this month they helped a blogger subpoenaed by the TSA, which subsequently the TSA not only backed down but ended up buying him another computer. They also keep the public aware of what is going on behind the scenes at that place we all know and love on the Internet called “Facebook”. Who really knows who your Facebook friends are? Well read the article and find out. I am confident you’ll be shocked to find out that the place we find all warm and fuzzy is actually anything but.
