Briefings

EFF released a new guide titled 'Online Privacy for Parents and Youth Surveillance Self-Defense' to address state laws restricting youth internet access. The guide advocates for security planning (threat modeling) as a foundational approach rather than quick fixes, emphasizing that solutions depend on understanding threats and unique needs rather than specific tools. It aims to provide a framework for parents and youth to navigate complex online environments.

Key points

Context
