The Internet Defense League is a network of sites and people that acts together to defend and strengthen our rights online.

Anyone can be a part of the League. It already has big sites like Mozilla, Reddit and the EFF, but its real power comes from grassroots internet users. That means you. Learn more and join at internetdefenseleague.org.


Use this reddit to share anything relevant to the League. We want to hear your ideas, criticisms and congratulations.


The Internet Defense League is a project of Fight for the Future. We're a nonprofit that believes the internet is too central to our basic freedom for its rules to be written by lobbyists and monopolies. We organize people to defend their rights online and make the internet better while they do it.


Update: CISPA passed the House and is being reincarnated in the senate as Lieberman-Collins. You can fight it at PrivacyIsAwesome.com.

SESTA/FOSTA, SISEA

Is this not relevant? Exodus Cry [there are probably better sources] is the organization behind the impending death of OnlyFans. Their goal is the eradication of porn from the internet, and they and groups like them are why there have been so many recent attempts to gut Section 230. In addition to, you know, banning porn, this kind of thing has a chilling effect on LGBTQ fiction since queers are seen as inherently more sexual by conservatives.

Remove me from the internet

Is there anyone who knows anything about hiw I can delete myself and comments about me from all of the internet not just Google search but purged from the whole thing. Because politely asking someone to remove something from the internet has cost me nearly $10,000 for attorneys after politeness turns to stalker like behavior.

Congress is about to reauthorize the Patriot Act TODAY

This is bad. The Patriot Act is the hastily passed law that enables the US government’s most grotesque mass surveillance programs. We know for a fact that the government has used it to violate our constitutional and human rights. But House Democrats just included a three month straight reauthorization of the Patriot Act in the “Continuing Resolution” must pass spending bill. And the Congress is voting on it TODAY.

Representatives like AOC, Justin Amash, and Ilhan Omar have already tweeted that they will vote against this. Please retweet, thank them, and amplify that so we can get other reps on board. This is not a partisan issue, so contact your reps regardless of which party they’re part of.

Our friends at Restore the Fourth have a simple tool that lets you look up where your reps stand on surveillance and tweet at them. Below are the 20 or so members of Congress who are either most likely to vote against the CR today or who have the most control over the process. Tweet and call them right now and tell them: “Vote NO on the Continuing Resolution because it reauthorizes the Patriot Act!”

Here’s what’s happening and the current state of US privacy laws.
