Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)
A US digital-rights NGO that defends civil liberties online through litigation, advocacy, and technical analysis. Discovered while ingesting eff-web-under-attack-ietf, the Deeplinks post in which it argues against gatekeeping the open web through IETF AI-crawling standards.
In this spoke EFF is a recurring kind of actor worth tracking on its own: a public-interest voice in standards and policy venues, arguing the access/openness side against publisher- and platform-driven control — the civil-society counterweight to the firm-and-state instruments the rest of the wiki catalogs.
