EFF Takes a Stand Against Censorship Disguised as Age Verification Laws
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) created a resource hub that will help people understand and counter “ill-advised and dangerous age verification laws proliferating across the United States and around the world,” EFF notes. It hosted a Reddit AMA Dec. 15–17 and will host a live-streamed panel discussion on Jan. 15, 2026. “These restrictive mandates strike at the foundation of the free and open internet,” says EFF activist Molly Buckley. “While they are wrapped in the legitimate concern about children's safety, they operate as tools of censorship, used to block people young and old from viewing or sharing information that the government deems ‘harmful’ or ‘offensive.’ They also create surveillance systems that critically undermine online privacy, and chill access to vital online communities and resources. Our new resource hub is a one-stop shop for information that people can use to fight back and redirect lawmakers to things that will actually help young people, like a comprehensive privacy law.” For more information, read the press release.
