There is a traditional Japanese concept called wabi-sabi that recognizes the world as impermanent, evolving, and unfinished. You could call it the beauty of embracing imperfection. Despite the sleek, otherworldly look of todayβs tech devices, the internet itself is still chaotic, inspirational, dynamic, necessary, worrisome, and, yes, beautiful.
WithΒ that love for the wild web, EFF works hands-on to protect your privacy, security, and free expression rights no matter how technologies change.Β WeΒ need the internetβs bold creativity and ability to strengthen the powerless more than ever. Will you help shape techβs future for the users?
