A Profile of the Electronic Frontier Foundation
Somnus writes "MSNBC discusses the evolution and current criticisms of the EFF." From the article: "The EFF continues to tackle issues like anonymity, electronic voting, patents and copyright, but the Sept. 11 attacks nearly five years ago have forced the EFF to spend more time on surveillance. It has sought to require more evidence before law enforcement can legally track people's locations by their cell phones, and in January the group sued AT&T, saying the San Antonio-based company violated U.S. law and the privacy of its customers. AT&T and NSA officials declined comment for this article."
Considering that EFF's aims are entirely contradictory to the aims of the government, I wonder if donating to EFF places one at higher risk of appearing on watch lists. If I were the government, I'd certainly use EFF support as an indication of political unreliability.
There's an "In Soviet Russia" joke in here somewhere, except that in Soviet Russia, "In Soviet Russia" jokes get (+1, Funny) and not (+1, Informative).
Oh, twitter!! LOLOLOL!! Hey, by any chance did you happen to notice this was an AP wire piece? That's right, twitter! So you can also find the same story in places as diverse as PilotOnline and the Winona Daily News! Wow, talk about your little "M$" thing falling flat on its face!
But don't worry. Other than PilotOnline and the Winona Daily News I'm sure that if you use the search function in the AP site you can find a website with an 's' in the title so you can so wittily change it to a dollar sign to show all of us how hilariously clever you are! Shweet!
