The leading nonprofit defending digital privacy, free speech, and innovation for 35 years and counting!
For thirty years, internet users have benefited from a key federal law that allows everyone to express themselves, find community, organize politically, and participate in society. Section 230, which protects internet users’ speech by protecting the online intermediaries we rely on, is the legal support that sustains the internet as we know it.
Enacted 30 years ago through careful legislative deliberation, Section 230 remains the internet’s strongest bulwark for free expression, protecting the services—and users—that make online speech possible.
We are inundated with advertisements and exhortations to use the latest AI-powered apps, and with hype insisting AI can solve any problem. Obscured by this hype, there are some real examples of AI proving to be a helpful tool. So let’s look at the real-world landscape.
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.
