Electronic Frontiers Australia Inc. (EFA) is a non-profit Australian national non-government organisation representing Internet users concerned with online liberties and rights. It has been vocal on the issue of Internet censorship in Australia.[1]
Its main objective is to protect and promote the civil liberties of users and operators of computer-based communications systems such as the Internet. It also advocates the amendment of laws and regulations in Australia and elsewhere which restrict free speech as well educating the community at large about the social, political, and civil-liberties issues involved in the use of computer-based communications systems.[1]
The organisation has warned against privacy invasions following the distribution of a draft code of practice for ISPs and their response to cybercrime.[2] It has also warned against intellectual property clauses in free trade agreements between Australia and the United States.
