In the "cyberbullying" case when a girl committed suicide, EFF intervened on the bad woman's behalf, saying it would be a slippery slope to tyranny if federal law were used to make sites' Terms of Service enforceable by law. I disagreed then, but it will be even worse if EFF opposes this prosecution on the same grounds and defeats it. Forums need to be able to have rules and enforce them, or no one will have real freedom of speech except the spammers.
I've managed to close one. The trick is getting a helpful response to a complaint, or even getting to talk to a human. Their user interface is so deliberately stupid it's impossible to submit a question without a totally irrelevant subject category (or two or three).

If the bad guys are able to do this, then Anonymous isn't anonymous enough and should improve its tech ... or its spycraft.
