This Meetup group is a Chicago-area social and discussion group for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). If you are tech-savvy, and care about privacy, freedom of speech, innovation, or consumer rights, this Meetup is for you! Meet others like you to discuss the latest in technology and related legal issues. This is primarily a social and discussion group, but we also welcome those who want to make a difference. You do not need to be a member of EFF to attend. We just want to meet knowledgeable people who care about these issues. This group is not directly sponsored or organized by the EFF.

From the Internet to the iPod, technologies are transforming our society and empowering us as speakers, citizens, creators, and consumers. When our freedoms in the networked world come under attack, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is the first line of defense. EFF broke new ground when it was founded in 1990 — well before the Internet was on most people's radar — and continues to confront cutting-edge issues defending free speech, privacy, innovation, and consumer rights today. From the beginning, EFF has championed the public interest in every critical battle affecting digital rights.

Blending the expertise of lawyers, policy analysts, activists, and technologists, EFF achieves significant victories on behalf of consumers and the general public. EFF fights for freedom primarily in the courts, bringing and defending lawsuits even when that means taking on the US government or large corporations. By mobilizing more than 61,000 concerned citizens through our Action Center, EFF beats back bad legislation. In addition to advising policymakers, EFF educates the press and public.
