Electronic Frontier Foundation
U.S. left-libertarian / civil liberties
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is a San Francisco-based nonprofit advocacy and legal organization focused on digital civil liberties — it is not a traditional news outlet but publishes significant commentary, analysis, and policy advocacy that functions as a public information source. It is funded primarily by individual donors and grants from center-left philanthropies, and Media Bias/Fact Check rates it as left-center in orientation. Since the start of the Trump second term in January 2025, EFF has been broadly critical, filing lawsuits against administration actions and publicly opposing several executive orders.
Owned byNonprofit 501(c)(3) organization governed by a board of directors; no single owner. Co-founded in 1990 by Mitch Kapor, John Perry Barlow, John Gilmore, and Steve Wozniak.
