RIP Dave Farber, EFF Board Member and Friend

We are sad to report the passing of longtime EFF Board member, Dave Farber. Dave was 91 and lived in Tokyo from age 83, where he was the Distinguished Professor at Keio University and Co-Director of the Keio Cyber Civilization Research Center (CCRC). Known as the Grandfather of the Internet, Dave made countless contributions to the internet, both directly and through his support for generations of students. Dave was the longest-serving EFF Board member, having joined in the early 1990s, before the creation of the World Wide Web or the widespread adoption of the internet. Throughout the growth of the internet and the corresponding growth of EFF, Dave remained a consistent, thoughtful, and steady presence on our Board. Dave always gave us credibility as well as ballast. He seemed to know and be respected by everyone who had helped build the internet, having worked with or mentored too many of them to count. He also had an encyclopedic knowledge of the internet's technical history. F
