       Instead of exiling them from app stores, X & xAI could build safeguards to deter users from creating deepfakes & other sexualized imagery, EFF’s @davidgreene told @WIRED.  It “might not be a perfect fix, but might at least add some friction to the process.” https://www.wired.com/story/x-grok-app-store-nudify-csam-apple-google-content-moderation/

       ICE’s budget now rivals the militaries of nations around the world and that money is building an enormous domestic surveillance machine. Learn about the surveillance tactics they’re using and how you can protect yourself and your community. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/ice-going-surveillance-shopping-spree

       “Lawmakers need to keep in mind that false positives are dangerous. Falsely telling officers to expect an armed individual is a recipe for an unarmed person to be injured or even killed,” EFF’s @cooperq told La Voce di New York. https://lavocedinewyork.com/en/new-york/2026/01/08/mta-puts-out-call-for-ai-enabled-monitoring-of-security-camera-feeds/

       “Folks have warned for years about the mission creep of surveillance infrastructure systems like (automated license plate readers) and this propensity for them to be abused, and we’re seeing those risks manifest today,” EFF’s Sarah Hamid told the Press Democrat.https://www.pressdemocrat.com/2026/01/09/flock-cameras-public-safety-bay-area/

       ICE está armando una máquina de vigilancia enorme con nuevo presupuesto: desbloqueo de celulares, spyware, monitoreo de redes sociales, reconocimiento facial y más. No es “seguridad”: es expansión del control y el abuso. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/ice-going-surveillance-shopping-spree?language=es

       Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest. https://ssd.eff.org/module/attending-protest

       From PERA and PREVAIL in Congress to sweeping new USPTO rules, 2025 saw heavy pressure to make bad patents harder to fight. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/fighting-keep-bad-patents-check-2025-review

       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

       Buenas noticias: Surveillance Self-Defense (SSD) sigue creciendo. En 2025 la EFF actualizó guías clave (cifrado, Tor, borrado seguro, VPN) y publicó nuevas guías de privacidad para iPhone/Android y huella digital. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/surveillance-self-defense-2025-year-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
