craigslist founder donates 200000 for digital rights with grant to eff
Craig Newmark, the founder of the website Craigslist, has been a big supporter of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) for 30 years. Recently, his organization, Craig Newmark Philanthropies, gave EFF a new grant of $200,000. This money is to help EFF in their work on cybersecurity in 2024.
The EFF is an important group that works to protect digital privacy and free speech. They’ve been around for a long time and have done a lot of work to keep the internet safe and fair for everyone.
Craig Newmark has been with them almost from the start, joining three years after they were founded.
Over the years, the money from Craig Newmark has helped EFF in many ways. They’ve used it to support good journalism, which is crucial for democracy.
It’s about making sure people in power are honest and held responsible for their actions. The grants have also helped in fighting against online threats like malware, which can harm ordinary people and journalists.
Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has done a lot of work to fight against false information online and online harassment. They’ve also worked to make journalism more ethical and have looked into how governments and companies use technology to spy on people.
One of their big projects is the Coalition Against Stalkerware, which they helped start. This group works against software that can be used to spy on people without them knowing.
For journalists, especially those still learning and those who work at the grassroots level, EFF has created tools and guides. These resources help journalists protect themselves from digital attacks and understand how technology affects society.
In 2006, EFF recognized Craigslist for being a trustworthy website that really focused on helping people, even as it became very popular.
Though Craig Newmark is no longer working at Craigslist, he continues to help through his charity work. His donations over the past 30 years have helped EFF become a leading group in protecting digital rights today.
