This CFPB withdrawal is deeply disappointing.
EFF has fought for years against data brokers selling your information with little to no oversight. It's a serious threat to privacy—and with your support we'll keep pushing back.

How can Sen. Blumenthal or any other Democrat think for a second that this is a good idea, especially now?

The current FTC will use KOSA to go after tech companies that give kids news and information about gay rights, trans rights, abortion, racism, and more.

Nix the biometrics folks!
People keep saying this, but ... are you going to remember to do this in the heat of the moment when you just watched your friend get grabbed by the proud boys and your other friend got hit in the face with a beanbag round?

No.

So just don't use biometrics to unlock your devices. Simple.
Restarting your phone disables biometrics when powered on. Only after entering a pass code will biometrics work again.

Journalists and everyone who cares about privacy need encryption now more than ever.

But the TAKE IT DOWN Act poses an existential threat to encryption.

We joined with other rights groups to ask Congress to protect encryption by fixing this bill.

Age verification will require online platforms to collect more information on all users, not just young people, meaning that everyone’s privacy will suffer.
"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

I don’t have to agree with what this student wrote — that’s not the issue. You do NOT snatch someone off the street over an op-ed. That’s the kind of thing you see in China, Russia, or Iran — not in the United States.

Absolutely disgraceful.
