Electronic Frontier Foundation is an important organisation. If the internet is to be a force for empowerment of individuals and not just another sales channel, data harvesting and government mouthpiece then organisations like EFF are essential.

Their lawyers and other experts have successfully defined many key rights for internet users such as anonymity for bloggers, the illegality of malware DRM and the right for your geolocation data to be private.

I was surprised they've been around for so long but I'm very glad they're here now.

Happy birthday EFF!
