Aaron Swartz was a digital rights champion who believed deeply in keeping the internet open. His life was cut short in 2013, after federal prosecutors charged him under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) for systematically downloading academic journal articles from the online database JSTOR. Facing the prospect of a long and unjust sentence, Aaron died by suicide at the age of 26. EFF was proud to call Aaron a friend and ally.

Suchir Balaji, a former OpenAI researcher, was found dead at his San Francisco apartment on November 26, a day after Thanksgiving. Authorities have ruled the death an apparent suicide, with the initial probe showing no evidence of foul play.
In October, the 26-year-old researcher quit OpenAI, accusing the AI giant of violating copyright laws by scraping the internet and using copyrighted material to train its models. He warned that such practices could damage the entire internet ecosystem.
