The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has released a new guide titled 'We Must Not Normalize Digital Surveillance Abuses,' outlining concrete steps for individuals and communities to push back against invasive monitoring practices. The guide, published on May 19, 2026, emphasizes the growing threat of digital surveillance from both government and corporate entities.
According to the EFF, the guide provides actionable advice, such as using encryption tools, advocating for stronger privacy laws, and supporting organizations that challenge surveillance overreach. It highlights recent cases where surveillance technologies have been misused, including warrantless data collection and facial recognition abuses.
The EFF's executive director stated, 'We cannot accept surveillance as the new normal. This guide empowers people to take control of their digital lives.' The organization urges readers to adopt privacy-focused practices and engage in policy advocacy to protect civil liberties.
