Thank you to all of this year's D(EFF)CONtestants and to the individuals who donated in support of digital civil liberties! We topped last year's fundraising total bringing in $8,572 — well done! Every penny helps fund the legal briefs, research, educational resources, and activism campaigns necessary to protect freedom online, so in that sense we are all winners here.
