"But this year I've been thinking not just about the past 12 months, but also over the past 25 years I've spent at EFF. As many folks know, I've decided to pass the leadership torch and will leave EFF in 2026, so this will be the last time I write one of these annual reviews. It's bittersweet, but I'm filled with pride, especially about how we stick with fights over the long run."
"EFF has come a long way since I joined in 2000. In so many ways, the work and reputation we have built laid the groundwork for years like 2025 - when freedom, justice and innovation were under attack from many directions at once with tech unfortunately at the center of many of them. As a result, we launched our Take Back CRTL campaign to put the focus on fighting back."
"In addition to the specific issues we address in this year-end series of blog posts, EFF brought our legal expertise to several challenges to the Trump Administration's attacks on privacy, free speech and security, including directly bringing two cases against the government and filing multiple amicus briefs in others. In some ways, that's not new: we've worked in the courts to hold the government accountable all the way back to our founding in1990."
A leadership transition at EFF is planned for 2026 after a 25-year tenure that influenced long-term strategy. EFF launched the Take Back CTRL campaign to refocus on resisting coordinated attacks on freedom, justice, and innovation linked to technology. EFF pursued legal challenges to the Trump Administration's policies, filing two direct cases and multiple amicus briefs to defend privacy, free speech, and security. EFF's litigation work traces back to its 1990 founding. EFF also emphasized opposition to mandatory age verification systems, warning that they enable censorship, rely on facial recognition, and produce unacceptably inaccurate results.
