Millions rely on **EFF's** **Privacy Badger** to block hidden trackers that turn web browsing into a commodity for Big Tech, advertisers, and data brokers. But the **EFF** is tackling an even larger issue: the enablement of government surveillance through commercial data harvesting. Online tracking isn't just unethical; it fuels government surveillance. Widespread commercial surveillance and weak privacy laws allow data brokers to collect your data and sell it to law enforcement agencies like the FBI, CBP, and ICE. This allows the government to bypass warrant requirements and access sensitive information, such as location data.  ### Fighting Back Against Surveillance The **EFF** is actively working to strengthen privacy laws, advocate for consumer rights in court, and investigate the impact of surveillance technologies on communities. Tools like **Privacy Badger** are crucial in cutting off surveillance advertising at its source. Privacy is a fundamental human right, providing security and freedom. The **EFF** focuses on empowering users to have private conversations and control their technology. When commonly used tools facilitate corporate surveillance, they also contribute to government surveillance. It's crucial to fight against mass spying used for control and intimidation. For a limited time, you can support **EFF** and receive a **Privacy Badger Crewneck sweatshirt**. The design features the **Privacy Badger** mascot above Traditional Chinese characters for "privacy," emphasizing the universality of human rights. You can also get a set of puffy stickers featuring Ghostie, protecting privacy in multiple languages, or a member t-shirt featuring an orange cat swatting at surveillance equipment.
