== Criticism and Controversies ==
EPIC is widely respected for its work in privacy advocacy, but it has faced criticism from certain groups, particularly those in favor of expanded government surveillance and data collection. Critics argue that EPIC’s opposition to surveillance programs can hinder efforts to enhance national security.

However, EPIC continues to defend its position by emphasizing that privacy and security can coexist, and that protecting individual privacy is essential to upholding civil liberties and democratic values.
