I’m a fan of all these EFF projects, but this one’s name is terrible. Why would they put stalker in a name?

I’m gonna email them asking to reconsider the projects name.

I don’t think this is an EFF project, is it? The submitter is just using their Twitter account as an example.

I'm not seeing anything that indicates that this is an EFF project? Just the link here is to the EFF account specifically for some reason...

Sorry! I used that link just as an example of how twstalker.com/[username] shows the tweets from @[username]. I should probably have used something like https://twstalker.com/paulg that would have made this fact more obvious.

Agree about the name, it's quite well done and could be a decent alternative for xitter submissions on HN (else IMO they should just not be allowed anymore). They don't seem to say who they are, there's just a contract form https://twstalker.com/pages/contactUs

How do you figure it's an EFF project?
