我们的互联网越来越面临审查和监管(censorship and regulation)的风险。现在比以往任何时候都更重要的是，参与并研究您可以做些什么来为在线激进主义和数字运动做出贡献。
争取网络中立只是这一领域的重要问题之一，但还有更多。如果这是您唯一能想到的，也许您应该为自己保持更多信息！
好消息是，多年来，在线组织和行动主义(organization and activism)变得越来越流行，非营利组织和出版物致力于为那些热衷于保持自由和开放的互联网的人们报道紧迫的问题并采取行动。
在本文中，如果您想了解最新的
网络激进主义和互联网自由(web activism and internet freedom)，我们将讨论四个最重要的新闻通讯。
电子前沿基金会
电子前沿基金会(Electronic Frontier Foundation)( EFF )将自己描述为“捍卫数字隐私、言论自由和创新的领先非营利组织”。
除了代表免费互联网外，EFF还为法律辩护提供资金，并保护个人和企业免受其认为侵犯个人自由和在线公民自由的滥用法律威胁。
EFF
参与了Bernstein v. United States等案件，协助程序员兼教授(programmer and professor)Daniel J. Bernstein起诉美国政府，要求其发布他开发的加密软件Shuffle 。
注册 EFF 的时事通讯可以访问相关新闻、行动和事件的更新。如果提供邮政编码，靠近您所在地区的活动将被优先考虑。
互联网自由基金会
互联网自由基金会(Internet Freedom Foundation)( IFF )首先值得注意的是它关注印度(India)的在线自由(online freedom)。印度(India)拥有 7 亿多互联网用户，是仅次于中国的第二大互联网用户，几乎是(China)美国(United)的(States)三倍。
IFF 以其“拯救互联网(Save the Internet)”、“让我们保持在线(Keep Us Online)”和“拯救我们的隐私”(Save Our Privacy)活动而闻名。它坚定地致力于保护网络中立性、言论自由以及在线隐私和加密(privacy and encryption)。
作为一个数字自由组织，其网站声明如下：
“The IFF complements, and even hopes, to bridge gaps in digital rights organisations, larger civil liberties groups and online collectives and movements. We take considered risks, make a stand and follow a path of advocacy towards outcomes.”
订阅 IFF 的时事通讯将使您及时了解新闻、相关文章，甚至与其使命相关的工作。
自由软件基金会
自由软件基金会(Free Software Foundation)( FSF ) 旨在为研究、分发、创建和修改计算机软件(computer software)带来普遍的自由。大约从 1985 年开始，它开发了GNU 操作系统(GNU operating)并创建了GNU 通用公共许可证(GNU General Public License)。
FSF 的网站提供了有关活动、许可及其提供的资源的大量信息。他们正在进行的一些努力包括Free JavaScript、PlayOgg和OpenDocument活动。
FSF 的每月通讯，即自由软件支持者通讯，涵盖与自由(Free Software Supporter newsletter)软件社区(software community)相关的故事和警报。它以五种不同的语言出版：英语(English)、西班牙语(Spanish)、巴西葡萄牙语(Portuguese)和法语(French)。
除了他们的官方通讯之外，FSF还托管了几个邮件列表(mailing lists)，例如他们的GNU 公告(GNU announcements)、筹款公告(fundraising announcements)和来自FSF 社区团队(FSF community team)的消息。
有线
与上面讨论的其他时事通讯不同，《连线(WIRED)》不代表任何非营利组织或互联网行动主义的特定努力。然而，自 1993 年以来，《连线》杂志一直保持着其作为报道(WIRED)互联网自由和开放(internet freedom and openness)问题的领导者的声誉。
WIRED发表了数十篇文章，涵盖网络中立性(net neutrality)、透明度(transparency)、言论自由(free speech)和其他仍处于互联网激进主义前沿的重要问题。
订阅WIRED 的时事通讯(WIRED’s newsletter)将把该出版物最大的故事带到您的收件箱。您也可以注册WIRED Longreads 时事通讯(WIRED Longreads newsletter)，该通讯将在每个星期日(Sunday)提供 WIRED 的最佳功能和调查。
互联网行动主义(internet activism)的一个重要部分是及时了解网络上的最新消息，而WIRED绝对是做到这一点的最佳来源之一。
有了这四份时事通讯，任何关心免费和开放互联网的人都应该拥有他们需要的一切，以便定期向他们的收件箱提供新闻、调查、资源、事件和招聘信息。从那里开始，剩下的就是行动了！
4 Email Newsletters Every Internet Activist Should Be Subscribed To
Our internet is increasingly at risk of censorship and regulation. Now more than ever, it’s important to get involved and loоk into what you сan do to contribute tо online activism and digital campaigning.
The
fight for net neutrality has been just one of the issues important in
this area, but there have been so many more. If it’s the only one
that you can think of, maybe you owe it to yourself to stay more
informed!
The
good news is that online organization and activism have become more
and more popular over the years, and nonprofits and publications have

for those passionate about the internet remaining free and open.
In
this article, let’s discuss four of the most important newsletters
to sign up for if you want to remain in the know about the latest in
web activism and internet freedom.
Electronic Frontier
Foundation
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) describes itself as “the leading nonprofit defending digital privacy, free speech, and innovation.”
Along
with standing for a free internet, EFF provides funds for legal
defense and defends individuals and businesses from abusive legal
threats which it believes infringes upon personal freedoms and online
civil liberties.
EFF

it assisted Daniel J. Bernstein, a programmer and professor, in suing
the US government for permission to publish Shuffle, an encryption
software he developed.
Signing up for EFF’s newsletter grants access to updates on related news, actions, and events. If provided with a postal code, events closer to your area will be prioritized.
Internet Freedom
Foundation
First worth noting about the Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) is that it focuses on the online freedom of India. India is second only to China in internet users by population with over 700 million people, nearly three times as many as the United States.
IFF is known for their Save the Internet, Keep Us Online, and Save Our Privacy campaigns. It is strongly committed to protecting net neutrality, free expression, and online privacy and encryption.
As a digital liberties organization, its website states the following:
“The IFF complements, and even hopes, to bridge gaps in digital rights organisations, larger civil liberties groups and online collectives and movements. We take considered risks, make a stand and follow a path of advocacy towards outcomes.”
Signing
up for IFF’s newsletter will keep you up to date with news, related
articles, and even jobs relevant to its mission.
Free Software
Foundation
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) aims to bring universal freedom to study, distribute, create, and modify computer software. Around since 1985, it developed the GNU operating system and created the GNU General Public License.
FSF’s website offers a wealth of information on campaigns, licensing, and the resources they provide. Some of their ongoing efforts include the Free JavaScript, PlayOgg, and OpenDocument campaigns.
FSF’s monthly newsletter, the Free Software Supporter newsletter, covers stories and alerts that are relevant to the free software community. It’s published in five different languages: English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and French.
Along with their official newsletter, FSF also hosts several mailing lists, such as their GNU announcements, fundraising announcements, and messages from the FSF community team.
WIRED
Unlike the rest of the newsletters discussed above, WIRED does not represent any nonprofit or a particular effort in internet activism. However, since 1993, WIRED has maintained its reputation as a leader in reporting on issues surrounding internet freedom and openness.
WIRED has published dozens of articles covering net neutrality, transparency, free speech, and other important issues that remain at the forefront of internet activism.
Signing up for WIRED’s newsletter will bring the publication’s biggest stories to your inbox. You can alternatively sign up to the WIRED Longreads newsletter, which will deliver WIRED’s best features and investigations on each Sunday.
An
important part of internet activism is staying up to speed with the
latest news around the web, and WIRED is definitely one of the best
sources for doing just that.
With
these four newsletters, anyone concerned with a free and open
internet should have everything they need for a regular supply of
news, investigations, resources, events, and job postings coming to
their inbox. From there, all that’s left is to act!
