"Take Back CTRL is EFF's new website to give you insight into the ways that technology has become the veins and arteries of rising global authoritarianism. It's not just because of technology's massive power to surveil, categorize, censor, and make decisions for governments-but also because the money made by selling your data props up companies and CEOs with clear authoritarian agendas. As the preeminent digital rights organization, EFF has a clear role to play."
"Because it's your rights we're fighting for: Your right to use your device without it tracking your every click, purchase, and IRL movement Your right to control your data, including data about your body, and to know that data given to one government agency won't be weaponized against you by another Your right to do what you please with the products and content you pay for"
Technology has become central to rising global authoritarianism by enabling mass surveillance, categorization, censorship, and automated government decision-making. The commercial sale of personal data finances companies and executives who support or benefit authoritarian agendas. EFF marshals activists, lawyers, and technologists to defend democratic values and protect digital rights through litigation, analysis, security research, and advocacy. Core defended rights include free expression online, freedom from pervasive surveillance, device privacy, individual control over personal and bodily data, and consumer autonomy over purchased products and content. Public participation in the Take Back CTRL campaign is essential to safeguard those rights.
