When you go online, your rights should go with you. X is no longer where the fight is happening. EFF takes on big fights, and we win by putting our time, skills, and members’ support where they will have the most impact. Right now, that means Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and eff.org. We hope you follow us there and keep supporting the work we do. eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/ef… (5/5)

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵(1/5)

Our continued presence on other platforms like Facebook and TikTok is not an endorsement. We stay because the people there deserve access to info, too. We stay because the fewer steps between you and the resources you need to protect yourself, the better. (4/5) ssd.eff.org/

The FAA quietly imposed a nationwide drone restriction that prevents filming ICE and other federal agents within half a mile. It’s an attack on the First Amendment. eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/fa…

The FAA’s “Temporary” Flight Restriction for Drones is a Blatant

Legal intern Raj Gambhir was the principal author of this post.Update: On April 15, 2026 the FAA rescinded the TFR (FDC 6/4375) and instead issued an advisory (FDC 6/2824), which states: [Drone]

Print Blocking is Anti-Consumer - Permission to Print Part 1

When legislators give companies an excuse to write untouchable code, it’s a disaster for everyone. This time, 3D printers are being targeted. Even if you’ve never used one, you’ve benefited from the

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. ssd.eff.org/module/choosing-…

Choosing the VPN That's Right for You

VPN stands for “Virtual Private Network.” When you connect to a VPN, all data that you send (such as the requests to servers when browsing the web) appears to originate from the VPN itself, rather...

What creepy nonsense are companies up to when they try to guess your age or take your ID for age verification? eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/so…

So, You’ve Hit an Age Gate. What Now?

EFF is against age gating and age verification mandates, and we hope we’ll win in getting existing ones overturned and new ones prevented. But mandates are already in effect, and every day many

“Just labeling something as a design feature means nothing,” EFF’s David Greene told @CNBC. “If it’s speech, it’s speech and it gets both First Amendment protection and potentially Section 230 protection as well.” cnbc.com/2026/04/03/meta-goo…

Meta, Google under attack as court cases bypass 30-year-old legal shield

Internet platforms have long been able to rely on special protections to avoid liability for what takes place on their sites. But that may be changing.

A nonprofit web host got a copyright demand—for a photo it didn’t post. They removed it anyway. The law firm still demanded money. EFF pushed back, and the claim fell apart. eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/ba…

A Baseless Copyright Claim Against a Web Host—and Why It Failed

Banning 3D parts based on their function is a doomed game of cat and mouse. Algorithmic print blocking will be circumvented by lawbreakers, and legal uses will be censored. eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/pr…

Print Blocking Won't Work - Permission to Print Part 2

Legislators across the U.S. are proposing laws to force “print blockers” on 3D printers sold in their states. This mandated censorware is doomed to fail for its intended purpose, but will still
