This is the first in a series of posts in which EFF will unpack how we fight to uphold basic human rights in light of new and existing technologies that affect minorities and disenfranchised communities in disproportionate and often discriminatory ways. Because technology and communication are central to so many efforts to effect social change, digital free should matter to you. In our first piece, we illustrate how the protection of our digital civil liberties is intrinsically connected to the particular needs and rights of people who identify as lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, or transgender. This blog post also exists as a one-pager, which we encourage you to share and distribute widely.
