The EFF often comes into conflict with conservative views about privacy and security. For example, in ''[[Ashcroft v. ACLU|American Civil Liberties Union v. Ashcroft]]'' the EFF filed an [[amicus brief]] which argued against the FBI examining the records of ISP customers. The EFF was also involved in fighting against anti-pornography provisions in the [[Communications Decency Act]].
