I’m a strong supporter of the EFF for its unflinching advocacy for digital privacy and security rights and protection. The following information was taken directly from the EFF website.
EFF is leading nonprofit organization defending civil liberties in the digital world. Founded in 1990, EFF champions user privacy, free expression, and innovation through impact litigation, policy analysis, grassroots activism, and technology development. EFF works to ensure that rights and freedoms are enhanced and protected as our use of technology grows.
Even in the fledgling days of the Internet, EFF understood that protecting access to developing technology was central to advancing freedom for all. In the years that followed, EFF used its fiercely independent voice to clear the way for open source software, encryption, security research, file sharing tools, and a world of emerging technologies.
Today, EFF uses the unique expertise of leading technologists, activists, and attorneys in its efforts to defend free speech online, fight illegal surveillance, advocate for users and innovators, and support freedom-enhancing technologies.
By becoming an EFF supporter, you can be part of a vast network of concerned members and partner organizations spanning the globe. EFF advises policymakers and educates the press and the public through comprehensive analysis, educational guides, activist workshops, and more. EFF empowers hundreds of thousands of individuals through its Action Center and has become a leading voice in online rights debates.
Of the many electronic frontier issues addressed by EFF, computer security and privacy are two of the most important.
Computer Security
Computer security, and lack thereof, is a fundamental issue that underpins much of how 
the Internet does (and doesn't) function. Many of the policy issues that EFF works on are linked to security in deep ways including privacy and anonymity, DRM, censorship, and network neutrality.
EFF works directly on a wide range of security issues including increased deployment of cryptographic protocols through projects like HTTPS Everywhere and Certbot; improving the security of those protocols with the SSL Observatory; offering legal assistance to researchers through our Coders' Rights Project; offering practical security advice to activists through the Surveillance Self-Defense project; directly auditing open source codebases; working on the development of new security standards; and providing free access to tools like Panopticlick and Privacy Badger, which respectively help access and lower your browser privacy risk exposure.

Privacy
New technologies are radically advancing our freedoms, but they are also enabling unparalleled invasions of privacy. National and international laws have yet to catch up with the evolving need for privacy that comes with new digital technologies. Respect for individuals' autonomy, anonymous speech, and the right to free association must be balanced against legitimate concerns like law enforcement. EFF fights in the courts and Congress to maintain our privacy rights in the digital world, and works with partners around the globe to support the development of privacy-protecting technologies. One serious threat to your privacy is your cell phone – while it helps you keep in touch with friends and family, it also makes it easier for the government to spy on you and track your movements.
A few of the privacy and anti-spying topics EFF addresses:
- Biometrics

- Border Searches
- Cell Tracking
