It's Power Up week at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a critical annual fund-raising effort that helps the nonprofit group defend our privacy, our speech and our online rights year-round. The EFF exposes corporate shenanigans, challenges ill-considered legislation, busts patents that should never have been approves, and litigates against those who use the law to threaten, bully and silence critics, activists and publishers.
