The leading nonprofit defending digital privacy, free speech, and innovation for 35 years and counting!

Tyrants are co-opting tech to supercharge the attack on democracy. They’re making it easier to spy on people, block free speech, and control what we do. EFF is fighting back and you can join the movement to Take Back CTRL.
Apple and Google use their app stores to shape what apps you can and cannot have on devices, but now more governments—including the U.S. government—are using legal and extralegal tools to lean on these gatekeepers in order to assert that same control. Google’s central registration system will be devastating for the Android developer community. EFF has signed on to F-Droid’s open letter. If you care about taking back control of tech, you should too.
If you use technology, this fight is yours.
EFF defends your privacy and free expression because technology should serve all people, not just the powerful. We’re a nonprofit powered by members, and we need you in this fight.
