Who's watching the watchers?


"AT&T violated U.S. law and the privacy of its customers as part of the "massive and illegal program to wiretap and data-mine Americans' communications" without warrants, the EFF alleged."

"Uh-oh, Chango!" (distress call in episodes of "Danger Island"---1970s tv)

I love the EFF, which was born in Silicon Valley (well, yeah) in 1990. A year later, Steve Jackson and others created EFF-Austin, which is now a separate nonprofit organization. Both groups, however, cover the same issues with their digital rights advocacy work. My kind of brainiacs....for sure.

Electronic Frontier Foundation: they're "Defending Freedom in the Digital World".
