EFFector Newsletter Highlights key Digital Rights Battles

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is preparing for upcoming summer security conferences in Las Vegas, releasing a new edition of its EFFector newsletter to inform the public about critical digital rights issues.

This edition addresses an illegal mass surveillance scheme implemented by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District. It also calls out dating applications for utilizing intimate user data, such as sexual preferences and identity, to train artificial intelligence. Furthermore, the EFF is supporting the Wikimedia Foundation‘s challenge to the United Kingdom’s Online Safety Act.

An accompanying audio component features EFF Senior Policy Analyst Matthew Guariglia discussing how Amazon Ring is capitalizing on the rise of techno-authoritarianism and mass surveillance. The interview is available on youtube and the Internet Archive.

Since 1990, EFFector has served as a vital resource for individuals to stay informed about their digital rights. The newsletter provides updates, announcements, blog posts, and other relevant stories to keep readers abreast of efforts to protect online privacy and free expression.

The EFF expresses gratitude to its global supporters, whose contributions enable its work. Individuals are encouraged to join the EFF to support the fight for a more secure digital future.
