In the first weeks of the pandemic, EFF's team of lawyers, technologists, and activists wrote some 30,000 words on how technology might intersect with the COVID-19 crisis—covering surveillance, security, medical privacy, and more.

Now, it’s an eBook. (1/4)supporters.eff.org/donate/pandemi…
The eBook is a free, Creative Commons-licensed collection of articles by EFF, arranged into five sections: Surveillance, Free Speech, Government Transparency, Innovation, and Living More Online. (2/4) supporters.eff.org/donate/pandemi…
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on how we use technology. No matter who you are, this collection will be relevant to your understanding of the pandemic and society’s response to it. (3/4) supporters.eff.org/donate/pandemi…
We’re very grateful for your support, which allows us to do this important work. Please consider becoming an EFF member and helping us continue the fight. (4/4) supporters.eff.org/donate/pandemi…

In its report on Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the Copyright Office has incorrectly determined that the only groups whose concerns should be addressed are those of large tech companies and major rightsholders.
The solutions it proposes are in the service of tilting the "balance" of Section 512 towards rightsholders, ignoring the users who will actually bear the brunt of these policies.
For example, the proposal to terminate someone’s Internet access—at any time, but especially now—is a hugely disproportionate response to unproven allegations of copyright infringement.

While Facebook is probably mostly removing events that specifically urge the flouting of social distancing rules, its new policy seems to also target gatherings that are discouraged though not legally prohibited. politico.com/news/2020/04/2…
This policy is troubling for several reasons. First, Facebook has still not fully implemented the Santa Clara Principles, which would provide meaningful due process to impacted speakers and better ensure that enforcement of their content guidelines is fair.santaclaraprinciples.org
Second, the task Facebook has burdened itself with is daunting. Their policy uses the hazy standard of "government health guidance," and there are thousands of these guidelines in the US alone—and thousands more worldwide. eff.org/deeplinks/2020…
