Free Friday: Digital Freedom
Typically we use Free Friday as an opportunity to share free online tools and technology resources. However, given that this particular Free Friday happens to land on the 4th of July, it seems apt to use it as an opportunity to honor an organization that has contributed a great deal to digital freedom: the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Founded in 1990, the EFF defends digital rights, from free speech to privacy and innovation to consumer rights. Among its many cases, the EFF has successfully challenged the constitutionality of internet censorship laws, kept corporations from spying on consumers, defended the confidentiality of online journalists, and established that computer code is speech and deserves First Amendment protection. So, as you celebrate the 4th of July today, why not join the EFF today and make a lasting contribution to digital freedom. -M & K
