The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is a San Francisco, California-based organization that defends civil liberties in the digital age. It engages in litigation and coalition-building with activists to preserve the ability to hack, tinker, remix, and create for the broader public good. The group's work includes defending online free expression, countering illegal surveillance, and promoting technologies that expand digital rights as technology becomes more pervasive. Its team blends activists, technologists, and attorneys to address rights challenges at the intersection of law, technology, and policy. 

EFF's work largely serves individuals and communities seeking digital rights protection, along with researchers, advocates, and policymakers navigating tech-enabled concerns. The organization operates within the law and policy space, aiming to ensure that freedoms keep pace with technological change. Recent developments include a leadership transition, with Nicole Ozer appointed executive director effective June 1, 2026, following long-time leadership. In 2026, EFF announced a partnership with Public Resource to create a Public Resource Legal Fellowship and pursued notable legal actions, such as a FOIA suit against the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
