==Geskiedenis==
[[Beeld:MitchKapor.jpg|thumb|[[Mitch Kapor]], stigterstigterslid van die EFF]]
Die EFF is deur [[Mitch Kapor]], [[John Gilmore]] en [[John Perry Barlow]] in 1990 gestig. Die stigters het mekaar almal op 'n aanlyn forum ontmoet.
 
Die skepping van die organisasie is gemotiveer deur die soek deursoek en beslaglegging op die eiendom van [[Steve Jackson Games]] deur die [[Verenigde State se geheime diens]] vroeg in 1990. Verskeie ander strooptogte is deur die federale regering se taakspan genaamd [[Operasie Sundevil]] uitgevoer rondom die tydperk, maar Steve Games se geval was die EFF se eerste hoë profiel geval gewees en die spil waarom dinge gedraai het toe die EFF burgerregte op rekenaars en die internet begin bevorder het. Die EFF se tweede groot saak was dié van Bernstein teen die Verenigde State en is gelei deur Cindy Cohn. In hierdie geval het 'n programmeerder en professor [[Daniel Bernstein]] 'n saak teen die Amerikaanse regering aanhangig gemaak om toestemming te kry om sy [[kodering]]sagteware genaamd [[Snuffle]] en die meegaande beskrywing van hoe dit werk te publiseer. Meer onlangs was die organisasie betrokke by die verdediging van [[Edward Felten]], [[Jon Johansen]] en [[Dmitry Sklyarov]].

Boeke wat die EFF se geskiedenis in diepte behandel vanuit 'n beleids- en wetlike oogpunt sluit in:
 
*Robert B. Gelman & Stanton McCandlish's ''Protecting Yourself Online: The Definitive Resource on Safety, Freedom & Privacy in Cyberspace''.
The organization was originally located at [[Mitch Kapor]]'s K.E.I. in [[Cambridge, Massachusetts]]. By the fall of [[1993]], the main EFF offices were housed in [[Washington, D.C.]], headed up by [[Jerry Berman]]. During this time, some of EFF's attention focused on the business of influencing national policy, a worthy business, but one perhaps not entirely palatable to parts of the organization. In [[1994]], Mr. Berman parted ways with EFF and formed the [[Center for Democracy and Technology]]. EFF moved offices across town, where Drew Taubman briefly took the reins as director. In [[1995]], under the auspices of director Lori Fena, after some downsizing and in an effort to regroup and refocus on their base support, the organization moved offices to [[San Francisco, California]]. There, it took up temporary residence at [[John Gilmore (advocate)|John Gilmore]]'s Toad Hall, and soon afterward moved into the Hamm's building at 1550 Bryant St. After Fena moved onto the EFF board of directors for a while, the organization was led by Tara Lemmey. Just prior to the EFF's move into its new and present offices at 454 Shotwell St. in SF's Mission District, long-time EFF Legal Director Shari Steele became, and remains as of mid-2006, the Executive Director. In the spring of 2006, EFF announced the opening of an office in [[Washington, D.C.]] with two new staff attorneys.<ref>{{cite news | first=Declan | last=McCullagh | pages= | title=EFF reaches out to D.C. with new office | date=April 27, 2006 | publisher=CNET News.com | url=http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9595_22-6065860.html }}</ref>
*[[Mike Godwin]]'s se ''[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0262571684/103-2519896-5577451?v=glance&n=283155&n=507846&s=books&v=glance Cyber Rights: Defending Free Speech in the Digital Age'']''.
*Verskeie ander boeke uit die 1990s (Bruce Sterling se ''[http://stuff.mit.edu/hacker/hacker.html The Hacker Crackdown]'', ens.) behandel ook die EFF se aktiwiteite tot 'n mate. Hul meer onlangse werk op die gebied van billike gebruik en intellektuele eiendom wetgewing word beter op hul webwerf en joernale gedokumenteer.
