The current situation in the technological sphere presents serious challenges for democracy, where digital tools facilitate alarming practices such as mass surveillance and censorship of free expression. In response to this issue, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a prominent digital rights advocacy organization, has launched the initiative “Take Back CTRL,” aimed at raising awareness about the authoritarian impact that technology exerts on our societies.
The new EFF website analyzes how technology not only enables surveillance and categorization of information but also supports a system in which corporations profit by exploiting data, favoring leaders with authoritarian tendencies. EFF’s role is crucial, as it has been fighting for over 35 years for the respect and defense of individuals’ rights in the digital realm.
The campaign not only focuses on protecting individual rights such as freedom of expression and the right to privacy but also promotes active citizen participation. EFF emphasizes that defending these rights is a collective responsibility and that its success relies on mobilizing society in defense of democracy.
Citizens have the opportunity to get involved in this struggle by spreading the message about the need to combat the misuse of technology. The “Take Back CTRL” campaign provides practical tools for users to protect their rights in everyday life and fosters greater awareness of responsible technology use.
With an energetic call to action, EFF invites everyone to join this movement, stressing that the future is being defined in the present and that active participation is crucial to reclaim control over our digital freedoms.
