ICE has spent hundreds of millions on surveillance. Some technologists are building tools to find it, map it, and push back. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/how-hackers-are-fighting-back-against-ice

Age verification won't magically keep young people safer online, but that didn't prevent governments from spending 2025 implementing or attempting to introduce legislation requiring all online users to verify their ages before accessing the digital space. Here’s three ways we fought back last year. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/age-verification-threats-across-globe-2025-review

En 2025, la “verificación de edad” dejó de ser experimento y se volvió política masiva en EE. UU.: más censura, más vigilancia y más riesgos para privacidad y anonimato. La supuesta “seguridad” termina dañando a todos. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/year-states-chose-surveillance-over-safety-2025-review?language=es

Software patents, patent trolls, and junk claims didn’t go away in 2025 — but neither did the push to stop them. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/fighting-keep-bad-patents-check-2025-review

The surveillance industry is a key enabler of vast and untold violations of human rights and civil liberties like we’ve seen in the actions of ICE. The industry seeks to profit off the data of millions while ICE creates one of the largest, most comprehensive surveillance machines in history. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/ice-going-surveillance-shopping-spree

The issue of online safety is not solved through technology alone, and young people deserve a more intentional approach to protecting their safety and privacy online—not the lazy age verification strategies we saw implemented last year that cause more harm than they solve. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/age-verification-threats-across-globe-2025-review

Varios estados intentaron bloquear a menores de redes sociales o exigir permiso parental, pero tribunales (y la EFF) frenaron muchas leyes por inconstitucionales. No hay “excepción infantil” para la libertad de expresión. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/states-tried-censor-kids-online-courts-and-eff-mostly-stopped-them-2025-review?language=es

Google, Meta, and Amazon are among the top companies tracking you across the web. By automatically blocking their trackers, Privacy Badger makes it harder for Big Tech companies to profit from your personal information. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/online-tracking-out-control-privacy-badger-can-help-you-fight-back

We stand to lose a lot as governments push to age-gate the web. That's why EFF is pushing back. You can learn more about these age-gating laws and even ask us questions during our livestream on Thursday at 12 PM PT: https://eff.org/livestream-age

It can be hard to imagine how to defend oneself against an overwhelming force like ICE. But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter-surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/how-hackers-are-fighting-back-against-ice

El Congreso volvió a empujar proyectos para “proteger a los niños” que, en la práctica, significan verificación de edad para todos: más datos sensibles, más censura y más poder concentrado. KOSA y compañía deben caer. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/congresss-crusade-age-gate-internet-2025-review?language=es

If one looks closely at the actual data as well as the negative consequences of license plate readers, it becomes pretty clear that these are usually not a good deal for our communities,” EFF’s Adam Schwartz told @ArkTimes. https://arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2026/01/12/little-rock-police-track-you-with-116-license-plate-readers-citywide-we-mapped-them-all
