EFF's @jillian.bsky.social was at Bread and Net in Beirut to speak about our work on reproductive justice and digital rights 101!

Oh gosh is it fuck 230 season again already? The time just flew by this year. 🍂 The white man's gambit, as I believe @jillian.bsky.social deemed it; everyone just shows their ID all the time. What could go wrong.

Excited for my #MozFest2025 session on "Reimagining content moderation" with @jillian.bsky.social. Content moderation advocacy has become more difficult just as human rights online and offline are under attack. Let's talk about ways forward together! schedule.mozillafestival.org/session/19

I'll be at #MozFest this week to speak on two panels and (help) demo @eff.org's Rayhunter! schedule.mozillafestival.org/schedule

This is happening so soon!

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Ahmed El Mekkawy, a cherished friend of the MENA Alliance for Digital Rights (MADR) and a beloved member of the digital rights community in the Arabic-speaking region.

EFF mourns the loss and honors the life of Ahmed Mekkawy (@linuxawy.org), a friend and supporter who was a passionate advocate for free and open-source software and digital rights manassa.news/en/stories/2...

I will never forget visiting Taipei 101 with @linuxawy.org earlier this year. The kindest of souls. manassa.news/en/stories/2...

Watching TV with my mom and an ad for Iceland travel comes on. “Those horses can draft emails for you,” I deadpan. “What the fuck?” I love doing this to her. Really, that was just my opener for like 5 more Icelandic horse facts.

Finally went in and deleted all of my tweets (I saved my archive first). Felt good. Next step, deleting account.

Is anyone else watching South Park?

I haven’t had blue hair in years but I don’t have a photo of myself that I like. Time for new headshots soon methinks.

بعفو رئاسي وبعد ست سنوات خلف القضبان، علاء عبد الفتاح يعود إلى منزله وبين عائلته — التفاصيل هنا: www.eff.org/deeplinks/2... #علاء_عبد_الفتاح #حقوق_الإنسان

Alaa Abd El Fattah is finally free and at home with his family. EFF wholeheartedly celebrates Alaa’s freedom and reunification with his family. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

curses all the way down to whatever brain worm unearthed a random christian pop song from the 90s into my brain during a press interview today.

Trump is absolutely cratering in new Quinnipiac poll: Overall approval: 38-54 Approval on economy: 39-56 Approval on trade: 39-54 On National Guard into cities: 42-55 On immigration, his "best" issue: 41-55 Trump is weak, unpopular, and failing. Treat him that way:

Cleaning out closets and dismantling conference lanyards to preserve the paper bits and donate the lanyards to conferences that recycle/reuse. I’m estimating 500 conferences and workshops in 15 years?

The Alanis thing was just cute, didn't realize it was an honorary degree, but still lovely! I'm just basking in a week of decent news.

Alaa is free, a number of countries recognized Palestine, Alanis Morisette finished a PhD. We’re starting off this week on pretty great footing.

Now that there's finally good news about Alaa, I want to share this photo of us from 2011. I'm booking a plane ticket for him and he can't remember his passport number. jilliancyork.com/2014/01/08/o...

We're all in shock. www.reuters.com/world/uk/egy...

“Won’t someone think of the mega wealthy?” Look, I’m not a Kimmel fan and what’s happening is bad, but I assure you on a personal level the man will be okay.

More excellent coverage of @eff.org's Stop Censoring Abortion project! www.jezebel.com/crucial-info...

So proud of this work with @eff.org apnews.com/article/soci...

I’m not convinced the NYT Editorial Board is aware that Kirk supported political violence and espoused white supremacist views. Seems like a key thing to mention when condemning the political violence that Kirk so loved. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/o...

Right because this is normal

There's so much handwringing about whether violence is acceptable that ignores the fact that violence is utterly normalized - normalized one way only. If violence was unacceptable, Palestine would be free, almost all guns would be outlawed, and Trump wouldn't be president. Violence is daily.

I’m fine with y’all condemning violence, but I sincerely hope you’re also condemning violence against Palestinians.

I did a thing.

“Normalizing the use of an always-on recording device … eats away at the expectation of privacy we have for our conversations in all kinds of spaces.” EFF’s @evacide.bsky.social told @techcrunch.com. techcrunch.com/2025/08/20/...

Has anyone out there succeeded in getting a diagnosis of dyscalculia? I would love to hear from you.

I have read so many reviews of Sinners (after watching it) and most of them miss the point of the music. This one doesn't: news.northeastern.edu/2025/05/07/m...

The visual storytelling here is phenomenal
