Farewell to the EFF Torchbearer: A Legacy of Privacy Battles and Digital Rights Victories
EFF is leaving 2025 behind with a big win for digital rights. From battling age verification to challenging automated license plate readers, we’ve fought the good fight. As our leader passes the torch, our mission remains strong: Keep fighting, stay vigilant, and remember, Big Brother isn’t invited to our party!
Hot Take:
Here’s to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) for sticking it to “The Man” for over two decades! As the top honcho bids adieu, it’s a reminder that fighting for digital rights is like trying to save your last slice of pizza from a hungry roommate—relentless, necessary, and occasionally cheesy.

- EFF’s leader of 25 years is stepping down in 2026, marking a bittersweet moment of reflection and pride.
- EFF launched the “Take Back CRTL” campaign in 2025 to combat threats to freedom and justice.
- The organization is challenging age verification technologies and automated license plate readers for their privacy implications.
- EFF has a longstanding history of holding the government accountable through legal actions.
- The year-end series highlights the organization’s persistent efforts in digital rights advocacy.
