The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has significantly enhanced its efforts in Europe to advocate for digital rights, specifically focusing on the enforcement of the GDPR to protect user data. This includes promoting a privacy-first approach to combat online harms while addressing the controversial use of age verification tools in legislation such as the UK's Online Safety Act. EFF argues that such measures could undermine privacy by requiring intrusive surveillance without providing guaranteed safety for users, highlighting the complex interplay of technology, governance, and individual rights in digital spaces.
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is central to user data protection rights, but its enforcement is crucial in preventing discrimination and supporting fundamental rights.
Age verification laws, like the UK's Online Safety Act, are controversial as they could lead to intrusive measures that infringe on privacy and may not effectively safeguard users.
