If you use technology, this fight is yours.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation won’t let the government exploit technology to terrorize vulnerable members of our communities. We have lawyers. We have technologists. We have activists and lobbyists.
But we still need something. You.
about take back ctrl
Technology underpins the fight for all the issues that matter to you.
Take Back CTRL is a campaign run by the non-profit Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). The internet and technology—originally built as tools of freedom—are being used as weapons of tyranny. So, what do we do? We Take Back CTRL.
EFF is rising to the challenge of the moment. We are pushing back hard against the government’s attempts to chill constitutionally protected speech. And we’re fighting against the government’s attempts to build an all-knowing database of everyone’s personal information as a tool against the government’s political foes. The Constitution and the rule of law are under attack, and we are running toward the fire.
Because it’s your rights we’re fighting for.
- Your right to speak and learn online, free of government censorship.
- Your right to move through the world without being surveilled everywhere you go.
- Your right to use your device without it tracking your every click, purchase, and IRL movement.
- Your right to control your data, including data about your body, and to know that data given to one government agency won’t be weaponized against you by another.
- Your right to do what you please with the products and content you pay for.
Consider this our “help wanted” notice, because we need your help to win this fight today. With you, we’re unstoppable.Donate
about eff
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) was created for scary moments like the one we’re facing now.
For 35 years, EFF has fought to ensure your rights follow you online and whenever you use technology. We’ve sued, we’ve analyzed, we’ve hacked, we’ve argued, and we’ve helped people be heard in halls of power.
One-third human rights law firm focused on technology, one-third developer of free technology that protects people, and one-third hardened organizers and activists. As the preeminent non-profit focused on making sure technology and human rights are compatible, we’re taking on the tech giants and authoritarian governments that are slowly merging into one oppressive entity.
We’re suing DOGE over the big-tech assisted consolidation of government information. We’re fighting surveillance in your community and Congress. We’re building tech that will keep your personal internet history out of data brokers’ hands. And we need you in this fight.
