The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is gearing up to participate in one of the highlights of the popular culture calendar: Dragon Con. This year, the organization will be present with a series of talks focused on online privacy and free expression as part of the Electronic Frontiers Forum.
Dragon Con, taking place from August 29 to September 1, 2025, is known as the largest event dedicated to science fiction, fantasy, gaming, and comics. With a wide range of activities and panels, the presence of the EFF promises to be a highlight, offering an educational proposal that addresses crucial topics in the digital realm.
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in discussions on current issues, such as Apple’s recent decision to disable end-to-end encryption in the UK under government pressure. This panel, along with others exploring surveillance at the U.S. borders and the misuse of technology, aims to inform and inspire participants to reflect on freedom in the digital age.
Additionally, the EFF will invite attendees to join its fight against privacy invasion, offering the opportunity to become members of the organization. Exclusive merchandise, such as dice and playing cards, supporting the EFF’s mission will also be offered.
The program will include panels discussing topics like the removal of personal information from Google, age verification legislation, and mobile device monitoring in schools. Experts participating in these forums will provide insights into the implications of each topic, highlighting the need to improve the protection of online rights.
With a variety of scheduled events, the EFF aims not only to promote discussion about digital rights but also to motivate youth to consider the relevance of privacy and free expression in their daily lives. Interested individuals are invited to attend and engage with experts to ask questions and learn more about how to defend their rights online.
Undoubtedly, Dragon Con 2025 will be an event that merges entertainment and education, where the EFF will play a crucial role in fostering necessary dialogue about issues affecting everyone in today’s digital society.
