Most people should use a password manager, but there's no one-size-fits-all recommendation.

At EFF we spend a lot of time thinking about the tech used by police and authorities to spy on you while you’re going about your everyday life, like cell-site simulators (CSS). Rayhunter is an open source tool we’ve created that we hope empowers everyone to help search out CSS.

Android phones have changed a lot over the years, and with those changes come new privacy and security features that are easy to miss. Here’s a rundown on the most important settings.

Keep up with the different surveillance technologies police are using across the U.S., from body-worn cameras to cell-site simulators. Stay informed using the Atlas of Surveillance.

Hey, look! EFF has new hoodies ✨

Content you purchased online shouldn’t disappear if a publisher and a tech company get into a fight.

Creating biometric profiles of people “is incredibly invasive,” EFF’s @_blip_ told @oklahomawatch. If it's being done in prisons, “there has to be a very clear policy and a real guarantee this information is not going anywhere.”.

Developing a plan for if or when something bad happens online is a good practice for anyone, but especially a community of people who face increased risk. It’s important to strategize with your allies around what to do in the event of such things happening.

EFF is excited to support @seagl!.The conference is free to attend, no registration required, so just show up and learn about free and open source software!

What do open source freedom, anti-surveillance lawsuits, and data privacy heroes have in common? They're all being celebrated at the EFF Awards! RSVP today to join us on September 10 in San Francisco:

"Creating a single interface for government data about us is dangerous if it works, and also dangerous if it doesn't," EFF's Cindy Cohn writes in the Mercury News and East Bay Times. Fighting tech-enabled tyranny and protecting privacy and security is a team sport. Are you ready.

"Total Information Awareness," was an embarrassing failure in trying to consolidate access to disparate government data about us twenty years ago. It should be again," EFF's Cindy Cohn writes for the @MercNews and @EastBayTimes.

Using Tor doesn’t require a lot of technical know-how, you just need to download a browser and familiarize yourself with some basics.

Where users face threats to their privacy and security online, EFF’s technology tools are there to defend them.

The rampant data sharing fueled by online tracking has serious consequences. Privacy Badger blocks online tracking to prevent your browsing data from being used against you.

Police shouldn’t get ‘open-book’ access to your phone. In a major boost for digital privacy, Michigan now demands tailored warrants.

Support digital freedom and look great while doing it. Check out the EFF store for merch that funds the fight for your rights online.

Yes, VPNs can help you get around certain types of geographic restrictions, but it’s very important you do your due diligence before downloading one.

Age verification has arrived in the UK and, to no one’s surprise, users hate it. We cannot accept these censorship regimes as our new norm.

Surveillance tech is not making us safer – it’s putting innocent people at risk. This isn’t public safety. It’s automated injustice. Read more:
