EFF Recognizes SerpApi for Years of Support in Defending Free Speech Online

• The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) acknowledges ongoing financial support from SerpApi since 2018, noting its importance to their mission of defending online free speech and access to information.
• EFF collaborates with 32,000 individual donors alongside corporate contributors like SerpApi to sustain its advocacy and legal efforts.

Key Advocacy and Legal Actions

• Content Moderation: EFF helped create the Santa Clara Principles to establish fair standards for content moderation and ensure users have recourse when facing censorship.
• Copyright and Fair Use: In the report Unfiltered, EFF challenged YouTube’s Content ID system for prioritizing large copyright holders over the fair use rights of individual creators.
• Digital Rights Defense: The organization continues to support whistleblowers and dissidents facing persecution for online speech and remains active in protecting Section 230.

Mission Context

• EFF identifies a growing trend of governments and Big Tech entities globally targeting lawful speech and dissent.
• Continued institutional support remains essential for EFF to counteract these pressures and defend universal rights to digital expression.
