　私たちは毎年、「９月２日」をめどに、「不戦のつどい」を開いてきた。今では、「戦争のために、ペンとカメラ、マイクを握らない」との誓いを、市民とともに確認し合う恒例行事となっている。　９月２日は、１９４５年、東京湾に停泊した米戦艦ミズーリ号の甲板上で、大日本帝国が連合国との間でアジア太平洋戦争の降伏文書に調印した日だ。日本では、その半月前の８月15日、天皇の玉音放送によって日本は「終戦」を迎えたとする見方が一般的だが、大日本帝国の無条件降伏とポツダム宣言の受諾は、この９月２日の..

It’s Time to Take Back CTRL

EFF update
5 days 7 hours ago

Technology is supercharging the attack on democracy by making it easier to spy on people, block free speech, and control what we do. The Electronic Frontier Foundation’s activists, lawyers, and technologists are fighting back. Join the movement to Take Back CTRL.

Join EFF and Fight Back

Take Back CTRL is EFF's new website to give you insight into the ways that technology has become the veins and arteries of rising global authoritarianism. It’s not just because of technology’s massive power to surveil, categorize, censor, and make decisions for governments—but also because the money made by selling your data props up companies and CEOs with clear authoritarian agendas. As the preeminent digital rights organization, EFF has a clear role to play.

If You Use Technology, This Fight Is Yours.

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 wherever 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.

But we're still missing something. You.

Because it's your rights we're fighting for:

  • Your right to speak and learn freely 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 Take Back CTRL our "help wanted" notice, because we need your help to win this fight today.

The future is being decided today. Join the movement to Take Back CTRL.

The Take Back CTRL campaign highlights the work that EFF is doing to fight for our democracy, defend vulnerable members of our community, and stand up against the use of tech in this authoritarian takeover. It also features actions everyone can take to support EFF’s work, use our tools in their everyday lives, and fight back.

No Tricks, Just Treats 🎃 EFF’s Halloween Signal Stickers Are Here!

EFF update
6 days 4 hours ago

EFF usually warns of new horrors threatening your rights online, but this Halloween we’ve summoned a few of our own we’d like to share.  Our new Signal Sticker Pack highlights some creatures—both mythical and terrifying—conjured up by our designers for you to share this spooky season.

If you’re new to Signal, it's a free and secure messaging app built by the nonprofit Signal Foundation at the forefront of defending user privacy. While chatting privately, you can add some seasonal flair with Signal Stickers, and rest assured: friends receiving them get the full sticker pack fully encrypted, safe from prying eyes and lurking spirits.

How To Get and Share Signal Stickers

On any mobile device or desktop with the Signal app installed, you can simply click the button below.

Download EFF's Signal Stickers

To share Frights and Rights  

You can also paste the sticker link directly into a signal chat, and then tap it to download the pack directly to the app.

Once they’re installed, they are even easier to share—simply open a chat, tap the sticker menu on your keyboard, and send one of EFF’s spooky stickers.  They’ll then be asked if they’d like to also have the sticker pack.

All of this works without any third parties knowing what sticker packs you have or whom you shared them with. Our little ghosts and ghouls are just between us.

Meet The Encryptids

These familiar champions of digital rights—The Encryptids—are back! Don’t let their monstrous looks fool you; each one advocates for privacy, security, and a dash of weirdness in their own way. Whether they’re shouting about online anonymity or the importance of interoperability, they’re ready to help you share your love for digital rights. Learn more about their stories here, and you can even grab a bigfoot pin to let everyone know that privacy is a “human” right.

Street-Level Surveillance Monsters

On a cool autumn night, you might be on the lookout for ghosts and ghouls from your favorite horror flicks—but in the real world, there are far scarier monsters lurking in the dark: police surveillance technologies. Often hidden in plain sight, these tools quietly watch from the shadows and are hard to spot. That’s why we’ve given these tools the hideous faces they deserve in our Street-Level Surveillance Monsters series, ready to scare (and inform) your loved ones.

Copyright Creatures

Ask any online creator and they’ll tell you: few things are scarier than a copyright takedown. From unfair DMCA claims and demonetization to frivolous lawsuits designed to intimidate people into a hefty payment, the creeping expansion of copyright can inspire as much dread as any monster on the big screen. That’s why this pack includes a few trolls and creeps straight from a broken copyright system—where profit haunts innovation. 

To that end, all of EFF’s work (including these stickers) are under an open CC-BY License, free for you to use and remix as you see fit.

Happy Haunting Everybody!

These frights may disappear with your message, but the fights persist. That’s why we’re so grateful to EFF supporters for helping us make the digital world a little more weird and a little less scary. You can become a member today and grab some gear to show your support. Happy Halloween!
