I think this is the core of a very interesting idea.

- call it Automated, Permissioned Grassroots Campaigning
- Users permit designated Orgs to post on their behalf on social media and other online forums
- Users guide priorities & tone of posts
- ML for content generation
- Aided by collaborative computer-human workflow

Just to be clear, you _are_ talking about opinion biasing pools here, just on the side of the good guys?

I'd quibble with 'biasing', more like reporting. The bright line between this kind of delegation and FCC-style comment-bots is that each communication still only represents the will of one individual human. Just that they don't have to manually act each time, as they've already made their position clear.
Really it's just about changing EFF's emails from "Act now!" to "We're about to do this on your behalf! (opt out if you want)."
I'd be happy to give EFF posting ability for this issue on my social media accounts. And I'd be fine with them using my voice and signature to generate voicemails and letters to my elected officials. if they abuse that power (which I doubt they would) I bet they'd be much more responsive to "their constituents" and also social media at least it's easy enough to de-auth integrations.
