"Based in San Francisco, EFF is a donor-supported membership
organization working to protect our fundamental rights regardless
of technology; to educate the press, policymakers and the
general public about civil liberties issues related to technology;
and to act as a defender of those liberties. Among our various
activities, EFF opposes misguided legislation, initiates
and defends court cases preserving individuals' rights,
launches global public campaigns, introduces leading edge
proposals and papers, hosts frequent educational events,
engages the press regularly, and publishes a comprehensive
archive of digital civil liberties information at one of
the most linked-to websites in the world."

Against Internet Censorship
- Fairness
and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR)
"FAIR,
the national media watch group, has been offering well-documented
criticism of media bias and censorship since 1986. We work
to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater
diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices
that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting
viewpoints. As an anti-censorship organization, we expose
neglected news stories and defend working journalists when
they are muzzled."
- Feminists
Against Censorship
"Feminists Against Censorship was formed in 1989 by a group
of long-time feminist academics and campaigners who wished
to fight censorship from a feminist perspective. In the
intervening years, we have been joined by younger women,
including those in other professions, such as computer programming,
photography, secretarial work, law, and the sex industry."
