       @redstarfish indeed, in 2014 the #eff gave the maximum six stars in their 'Who has your back' report to: Microsoft, Apple, Google and Facebook. What a joke

       I guess the meme refers to EFF giving 2019 Barlow/Pioneer Award to Microsoft employee Danah Boyd. https://www.eff.org/awards/pioneer/2019Previously in 2014, EFF awared Microsoft for "Tring to protect customer data"https://www.onmsft.com/news/eff-awards-microsoft-top-honors-trying-protect-customer-data-government #eff #microsoft

       @redstarfish danah boyd doesn't work for Microsoft (she used to be a researcher at Microsoft from 2009-2013). She's better known as the founder of Data & SocietyMicrosoft didn't get an award in 2014. They're one of the subjects of Who Has Your Back, a regular project we take a bunch of actions that we want all companies to do, and then research whether they do it. Here's 2014:https://www.eff.org/who-has-your-back-2014Some notorious companies do good things; some "good" companies still do bad things.
