    Schools must not use the pandemic as an excuse to comb for evidence of cheating in places that are far outside their technical expertise. A misguided investigation of Dartmouth medical students is a prime example of why this can go horribly wrong.

    Mexico’s Senate has passed a law mandating registration for cell phone users that links SIM cards to biometric data. This is an unnecessary and disproportionate measure as Mexican NGO has shown - and it poses major risks of abuse and leaks.

    Weak privacy bills are being pushed by tech companies across the country, and in some cases have even become law. "Setting up these weak foundations is really damaging and really puts us in a worse direction on privacy in the U.S.," says EFF's

    AT&T hid an arbitration clause in a mountain of dense legalese that it forces its customers to sign. So a judge dismissed our lawsuit against AT&T’s invasion of location privacy. We need a legislative fix.

    UID2 and other proposed tracking technologies would help trackers “unify” the data they collect about you. This will put vulnerable people more at risk, and will encourage pay-for-privacy business models that widen the digital divide.

    EFF's on the creation of the Coalition Against Stalkerware: "We have this whole industry—the antivirus industry—that's supposed to be there to detect bad stuff on your device. But the industry was not very good at detecting stalkerware."

    President Biden and Congress are working on proposals to end the digital divide and deliver universal, high-speed, 21st century broadband. ISP lobbyists will try to stop it. Contact your elected representatives and tell them to move forward.
