"EFF’s attorneys, activists, and technologists were media rockstars in 2024, informing the public about important issues that affect privacy, free speech, and innovation for people around the world.

Perhaps the single most exciting media hit for EFF in 2024 was “Secrets in Your Data,” the NOVA PBS documentary episode exploring “what happens to all the data we’re shedding and explores the latest efforts to maximize benefits – without compromising personal privacy.” EFFers Hayley Tsukayama, Eva Galperin, and Cory Doctorow were among those interviewed."

"Climate activism and the case for thinking small
"How digital activism creates societal stonewalling"
"You see, with all the places to go off-track, burn out, numb out, or be guided into making repetitive actions with forgettable results, many can approach the precarious desire to productively and adequately save our planet. We need to push for an accessible online blueprint that directs the masses to effective, local, and system-changing initiatives — because, if we know where to look, the options are already there."

I’ll give a keynote today about “Activist post-truth publishing and human mesh networks” at the "Improvising Care" conference organised by the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation at McGill University in Montreal and the Toolkit of Care international project.

#DigitalRights #HumanRights #DigitalActivism: "As I prepare to leave Access Now after serving 15 years as its Executive Director and co-founder, I have taken this moment to reflect on my personal learnings and observations on the evolving fight to defend and extend human rights in the digital age for people and communities most at risk. This fight, shared by so many both within Access Now and across all facets of the human rights movement around the world, has only grown more pressing over the years.

In my time, I have seen the very earliest days of Facebook and Twitter, the excitement and devastation of the Arab Spring, the explosive disruptions of WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden, the maturation of the internet governance community, the rise of digital authoritarianism, the proliferation of spyware, the litany of new cyber-enabled conflicts from Sudan to Ukraine to Gaza, and the all-consuming emergence of artificial intelligence. These developments have had world-changing consequences and left us with both many seemingly unsolvable problems and a growing, global digital rights movement.

I’m sharing these reflections in the hopes that they will be helpful for people at all levels in the movement — including leaders at NGOs, governments, companies, and funding organizations — as we collectively confront the challenges of the digital revolution. With the future of human rights at stake, it’s crucial that we work together for the benefit of all."

This essay on #DigitalActivism is still massively relevant and perfectly summarizes a lot of what I have learnt in the past 3 years on #InternetGovernance, #hacktivism, and creating communities online.

Identifying usable pasts for an actionable future needs learning more about tactics and motivations used to bring social change on and with the Internet

Thanks to the messages of hundreds of EFF members across the country, we've spoken up for digital rights this year from Sacramento to Augusta.

Much of EFF's state legislative work has, historically, been in our home state of California—also often the most active state on digital civil liberties issues. This year, the Golden State passed several laws that strengthen consumer digital rights."
