Technology's Power in the Hands of the People
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is attending the summer security conference week in Las Vegas — BSides, Black Hat, and DEF CON 34 — and is using the occasion to solicit member support for its ongoing legal and advocacy work on privacy and free expression.
Why this matters: EFF is one of the few organizations that consistently shows up in court, in Congress, and at hacker conferences to push back on surveillance and data overreach. That work depends on individual donors, not corporate sponsors. If you care about who actually fights these cases when governments or companies overstep, this is a straightforward place to put money. The community that builds these tools and the lawyers who defend their use need to stay connected.
