Leading thinkers in law, technology, and policy will gather this week in Washington, D.C. to discuss how to protect privacy in the digital age.

We share the reasons we signed the Call and identify the parts we do not support and advocate changing.

During Paris Digital Week, Access Now is headed to the Paris Peace Forum and the Internet Governance Forum. We will bring the message that cyber peace is about supporting user rights.

A new CLOUD Act agreement without added protections risks letting U.K. law enforcement use its own vast authority to demand the data of users all over the world, without a check by U.S. courts.

Use of the Budapest Convention to improve law enforcement access to data must protect human rights.

The landmark Supreme Court ruling is a victory for privacy in the digital age, and offers the opportunity to further challenge over-broad U.S. surveillance practices.

Without federal standards, our access to redress for data breaches is hit-or-miss.
