There is nothing honest nor good about the EFF. They are a neoliberal think tank backed by big tech while pretending to be grassroots privacy champions.

And HN readers are happy to lap up their selective submarine propaganda without fact checking or a single shred of critical thinking.

I don’t know much about the EFF but have met several people working there who are certainly trying to do good. Your statement seems at odds with the HN values of thoughtful discussion.
