Speak for that which you know is right
We are not lawyers, nor our alter egos play as such on the Internet. Ergo in the face of legal challenges we are only rusticos.
If you feel ad idem and want to lend a hand, or head, to #FDroid pro bono and bona fide, you can help in our ongoing efforts ad infinitum.

Interesting. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/meet-rayhunter-new-open-source-tool-eff-detect-cellular-spying #EFF #rayhunter it seems all the devices listed on eBay are locked to Verizon. I’m wondering would it be possible to get an unlocked device? Or if that would be necessary in Australia
"So in ruling for our clients, the judge found that the mere fact that DOGE could access their records was an injury that gave us standing to proceed – and also found that there were other injuries that would separately give us standing, including the possibility that DOGE's breach could expose our clients to "hacking, identity theft, and other activities that are substantially harmful."
The US government repeatedly argued that we weren't accusing them of disclosing our clients' records, every time they did this, the judge pointed to our actual filings, which plainly assert that DOGE agents were "viewing, possessing and using" our clients' records, and that this constitutes "disclosure" under the law, and according to OPM's own procedures.
The judge found that we were entitled to seek relief under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), which proscribes the conduct of federal agencies – and that our relief could be both "declaratory" (meaning a court could rule that DOGE was breaking the law) and "injunctive" (meaning the court could order DOGE to knock it off)."

As the saying goes, "Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees."
At first glance, it appears my employer does not match gifts.
Has anyone convinced their employer to start doing this? If so, do you have any advice?
If you are interested in setting one up for yourself, It's pretty easy with the instructions provided by the @eff but you can also find help at the GitHub page.
I bought several of the cell hotspot units for only $11 off eBay.
I did mine in about 10 minutes (5 of which was looking for an answer on the GitHub page for something happening on my Mac when I went to flash the device) and it appears to be working fine.
Be sure and read the section on reporting results back to #EFF too!
Congress is reviving site-blocking laws—and EFF says it’s as reckless as ever.
Proposals like the Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act (FADPA) would empower courts to order ISPs and DNS providers to block entire websites—without due process.
Why it matters:
・
Site-blocking doesn’t just target piracy—it silences speech
・
It can unintentionally take down thousands of innocent sites
・
Evading blocks is trivial—using VPNs, alternate DNS, etc.
・
Many cases would be handled ex parte, with no one to defend the accused
EFF calls this an internet kill switch in disguise, and it’s a dangerous precedent for free expression and open web access in the U.S.
The entertainment industry is thriving without these laws. So why hand them censorship power?

The bad news is that I was sitting in a waiting room for a spinal x-ray since I’ve been having recurring lower back spasms and pain.
The good news is an older woman saw the back of my @eff “Stay Golden” hoodie¹ and stopped to tell me, “That’s absolutely beautiful!” and we struck up a brief conversation about the #EFF. She didn’t really grok what the EFF is/does, but she repeatedly told me how beautiful the design was!

I forgot to tell her it glows in the dark. 
@eff @theintercept The best way to protect yourself when crossing the U.S. Border is to not do it in the first place.
Online Tracking Is Out of Control—Privacy Badger Can Help You Fight Back, by @eff:
#RationalWiki is facing imminent legal peril from 5 separate defamation lawsuits from 5 #eugenics supporters. At least 2 of the lawsuits appear to be frivolous on their face. The 5 litigants are known to have acted in concert to take advantage of the weak #SLAPP protections within our state of incorporation and to bankrupt us. We need both monetary donations and legal representation (we are already aware of both the ACLU and the #EFF).
