The EFF is framing privacy as a human right tied to security and freedom, and calling out mass surveillance as a tool of control. The core claim — that privacy is a human right — is legally established across international law and most democracies. The surveillance-as-control argument is real and documented, though the causal relationship between surveillance and intimidation is more complex than the post suggests. What's missing: specific current threats or legislation the EFF is responding to, which would ground this call to action in concrete policy battles rather than general principle.
