SAN FRANCISCO—The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has announced the launch of “Digital Rights Bytes,” an innovative resource designed to clarify technological questions that many people encounter in their daily lives. This new website offers short videos that provide quick and accessible answers to common technology queries, helping users navigate through an increasingly complex digital world.
Cindy Cohn, executive director of the EFF, emphasized that our digital life is inseparable from our everyday activities, with the internet being a fundamental pillar of modern life. “There is no way to separate our digital lives from everything we do,” said Cohn. She also stressed the need for guidance in this area: “No one gave us a map or explained how to navigate safely.”
“Digital Rights Bytes” aims to fill that gap with clear and reliable information to help users reflect on important issues such as digital privacy, freedom of expression, and other civil rights in the digital environment.
Initially, the videos address questions such as “Is my phone listening to me?”, “Why is device repair so expensive?”, and “Can the government read my text messages?”, among others. The EFF plans to expand the variety of topics over time, ensuring a broad coverage of information.
Each topic includes a brief animated video accompanied by a simple explanation of the technology involved. Practical tips and additional resources are also provided for users to take action on the issues that concern them.
Founded in 1990, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has established itself as one of the leading nonprofit organizations advocating for civil liberties in the digital environment. Through litigation, policy analysis, activism, and technological development, the EFF seeks to ensure that technology continues to support freedom, justice, and innovation on a global scale.
