Comcast and Verizon used Congress to get back the ability to snoop on and use private customer data, but we're fighting back.

It seems like a no-brainer that an Internet Service Provider (ISP) should have to get your permission to snoop on and use the private information you generate as you browse the Internet. In 2017, pressure from the telecom industry led to Congress and the president rolling back protections for...

We've made big gains fighting for open access, but big publishers are still pulling every trick in the book to maintain their control.

In the first few weeks of 2017, just days after President Donald Trump took office, reports emerged that the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Agriculture were instructing scientists on staff not to talk to the public or the press. The reports raised serious questions among open....

While there are hundreds, and possibly thousands of examples, here are seven of the most egregious instances of social media platforms censoring journalism in 2017.

Social media platforms have developed into incredibly useful resources for professional and citizen journalists, and have allowed people to learn about and read stories that may never have been published in traditional media.

All year EFF has observed plans around the world to weaken or eliminate the legal protections that have enabled the operation of platforms as diverse as YouTube and the Internet Archive. But despite what big content lobbyists may say, this is no time to rethink copyright safe harbors.

Platform safe harbors have been in the crosshairs of copyright industry lobbyists throughout 2017. All year EFF has observed them advancing their plans around the world to weaken or eliminate the legal protections that have enabled the operation of platforms as diverse as YouTube, the Internet...

In an era of massive data breaches, a law that ostracizes security researchers is foolish—and it undermines the security of all of us.

The latest on the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act? It’s still terrible. And this year, the detrimental impacts of the notoriously vague and outdated criminal computer crime statute showed themselves loud and clear. The statute lies at the heart of the Equifax breach, which might have been averted if....

Standing? Discovery? These may seem like minor, procedural steps in any trial, but when challenging NSA surveillance, they’re huge, and 2017 included a couple of victories.

One of the government’s most powerful surveillance tools is scheduled to sunset in less than three weeks, and, for months, EFF has fought multiple legislative attempts to either extend or expand the NSA’s spying powers—warning the public, Representatives, and Senators about circling bills that...

2017: The year the Supreme Court finally considered how the Fourth Amendment applies to location data on our devices.

Protecting the highly personal location data stored on or generated by digital devices is one of the 21st century’s most important privacy issues. In 2017, the Supreme Court finally took on the question of how law enforcement can get ahold of this sensitive information. Whenever you use a cell...

Website blocking at the DNS level not only shuts down speech online, it threatens the stability of the Internet by inviting ever more special interests and governments to use the system for censorship.

In 2017, major entertainment companies continued their quest for power to edit the Internet by blocking entire websites for copyright enforcement—and we’ve continued to push back. Website blocking is a particularly worrisome form of enforcement because it’s a blunt instrument, always likely to...
