The new USMCA trade deal forces another 20 years of copyright term onto Canada. It's the wrong way to make society-wide decisions about non-trade issues like copyright terms.https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/10/new-north-american-trade-deal-has-bad-news-canadian-copyright …

While there are many steps you can take to protect your own privacy, the real protection comes when we recognize that privacy is a team sport.https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/01/data-privacy-day-play-privacy-team-sport …

People have the ability to demand that local officials protect the vote and enact much-called-for security reform. Voting may be a constitutional right, but it’s time for Congress and state governments to make it a funding necessity.https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/09/election-security-remains-just-vulnerable-2016 …
