       @eff do you actually defend privacy and free speech when you advocate for the “rights” of websites that violate privacy and chill the free speech of their victims, and then say “Oh but we also support the cops (which we have made clear many times over in our various articles are not to be trusted) somehow getting people justice” to cover your ass?https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/08/isps-should-not-police-online-speech-no-matter-how-awful-it

       @eff when have y'all ever found bigotry concerning?  When people united to put public pressure on to drop protection from hateful sites like KiwiFarms, and they succeeded, you wrung your hands about it, and later that year created a "Protect The Stack" site.  And then the year after that, an ISP dropped them for violating their Acceptable Use Policy and Corynne McSherry (who oh-so-bravely wrote anonymously) wrote about how it was concerning and we need to keep Protecting Bigots Free Speech- I mean "The Stack".  https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/08/isps-should-not-police-online-speech-no-matter-how-awful-it

       @eff The EFF is just another tech think-tank at this point.  Worshiping at the holy altar of "innovation" and treating startups as a universal good.  You guys are a joke.  Listen to actual artists and online creators who don't want their work shoved into a model to generate slop.  Listen to website owners who don't want these corpos to be allowed to keep hammering their sites and increasing their hosting costs for all the bandwidth the machines chugs through, ignoring robots.txt to scrape up every last morsel of data that they can get.

       @eff y’all talk about fighting against corporate power but stayed mute and didn’t even have a plan when Cambridge Analytica did their thing. https://slate.com/technology/2018/04/why-arent-privacy-groups-fighting-to-regulate-facebook.html

       @eff God, your going to bat for AI garbage is worse than your constant defenses of cryptocurrency.  You can’t use “won’t somebody think of the small [insert group here]” as a defense for everything.  Small devs, small businesses, small websites, etc. can also be responsible for a lot of bad stuff.  Y’all sound like Republicans on the AI regulatory issues.

       @eff Oh yeah, I forgot that y’all shill super hard for for AI on this front, claiming all the mass scraping by computers is “fair use”.  I will continue refusing to donate to y’all until you actually give a crap about real artists.
