EFF Sends Transition Memo on Digital Policy Priorities to New Administration and Congress
SAN FRANCISCO—Standing up for technology users in 2025 and beyond requires careful thinking about government surveillance, consumer privacy, artificial intelligence, and encryption, among other topics. To help incoming federal policymakers think through these key issues, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has shared a transition memo with the Trump Administration and the 119th U.S. Congress.
“We routinely work with officials and staff in the White House and Congress on a wide range of policies that will affect digital rights in the coming years,” said EFF Director of Federal Affairs India McKinney. “As the oldest, largest, and most trusted nonpartisan digital rights organization, EFF’s litigators, technologists, and activists have a depth of knowledge and experience that remains unmatched. This memo focuses on how Congress and the Trump Administration can prioritize helping ordinary Americans protect their digital freedom.”
The 64-page memo covers topics such as surveillance, including warrantless digital dragnets, national security surveillance, face recognition technology, border surveillance, and reproductive justice; encryption and cybersecurity; consumer privacy, including vehicle data, age verification, and digital identification; artificial intelligence, including algorithmic decision-making, transparency, and copyright concerns; broadband access and net neutrality; Section 230’s protections of free speech online; competition; copyright; the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; and patents.
EFF also shared a transition memo with the incoming Biden Administration and Congress in 2020.
“The new Congress and the Trump Administration have an opportunity to make the internet a much better place for users. This memo should serve as a blueprint for how they can do so,” said EFF Executive Director Cindy Cohn. “We’ll be here when this administration ends and the next one takes over, and we’ll continue to push. Our nonpartisan approach to tech policy works because we always work for technology users.”
