Mission & Interests

Goals: The Electronic Frontier Foundation is the leading nonprofit organization defending civil liberties in the digital world. Founded in 1990, EFF champions user privacy, free expression, and innovation through impact litigation, policy analysis, grassroots activism, and technology development. We work to ensure that rights and freedoms are enhanced and protected as our use of technology grows. Even in the fledgling days of the Internet, EFF understood that protecting access to developing technology was central to advancing freedom for all. In the years that followed, EFF used our fiercely independent voice to clear the way for open source software, encryption, security research, file sharing tools, and a world of emerging technologies. Today, EFF uses the unique expertise of leading technologists, activists, and attorneys in our efforts to defend free speech online, fight illegal surveillance, advocate for users and innovators, and support freedom-enhancing technologies.

Communication Activities: We are accompanying the implementation process of the Digital Services Act (DSA) and and the Digital Markets Act (DMA), focusing on implementation challenges. Among others, we work to ensure that the DSA becomes a positive model for legislation outside the EU. As regards the DMA, we will have a strong focus on the provisions about app-stores and on interoperability. On the latter, we will work to ensure that the interoperability mandate can work in practice, meeting security expectations and the expectations of internet users. Our work includes the participation in events, the launch of campaigns, responses to public consultations, and cooperation with other civil society organizations. https://www.eff.org/pages/adoption-dsadma-notre-analyse As a former member of the EU stakeholder group on the Copyright Directive implementation, which has worked to help drafting the implementation guidance document, we are continuing following the implementation of the Copyright Directive in the European Union. In a recent judgment, the CJEU has failed to set out parameters to help platforms decide when and when not to block content. As EFF, we will continue working to ensure that copyright rules work in the public interest. We are publishing related communication and coordinate with other civil society groups to inform the national implementation process. e.g. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/05/eus-copyright-directive-still-about-filters-eus-top-court-limits-its-use We are dedicating advocacy work efforts to the European Media Freedom Act, in particular related to the new mechanism to identify media service providers based on self-declaration and giving all media providers special treatment. https://edri.org/our-work/policy-statement-on-article-17-of-the-proposed-european-media-freedom-act/ Furthermore, we are publishing about the eIDAS proposal, which could risk undermining the security of HTTPS in users' browsers. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/eus-digital-identity-framework-endangers-browser-security We will also advocate to ensuring net neutrality in the upcoming EU Connectivity Package. https://www.eff.org/issues/net-neutrality
