Protect Your Privacy Rights

By tim

• When the Internet helped foster nationwide protests in Iran, EFF published a new international edition of our Surveillance Self-Defense guide, explaining how dissidents could avoid government eavesdropping and censorship.


• Google's new Book Search service will track everything you read, creating a dossier that's ripe for abusive government demands. EFF rallied authors, publishers, and users together to insist that Google tell the government: "Come back with a warrant."


• Did you know that your cell phone tells people where you are? EFF published a paper outlining new risks to your location privacy and advising technologists on how to fix them.


• Advertisers are finding new and sneaky ways to track your every move online and to create profiles of your personal interests. EFF is pushing Congress to stop them.



No other organization does as much to protect your freedom and privacy in the technological world. Please donate now to support EFF!
