I must say, of all institutions, this one makes me the saddest to hear from. Of course, like others perhaps ought to do elsewhere, I will not demonize them as a whole because they said something I don't like, as I believe their mission is sincere and more important. Still, a bad taste is left in my mouth.

Indeed, it's a real disgrace that EFF is joining the dogpile since they have Internet free speech as one of their stated goals: https://www.eff.org/issues/free-speech

I have the same feeling. Heck, they could even use this opportunity to straighten the repeated lies that Stallman was defending Epstein when the opposite is true. Instead, they chose to link to a hate piece by Selam G.

I wonder... What happened to the law? In the past, when someone was accused, they were brought to court and could defend themselves, and in the end the judge/jury declared them guilty or not. These days, the mob seems like a caricature of dystopian Judge Dredd - police, judge, jury and executioner combined.
