You know, I'm always impressed with the clarity that the EFF posts explain their situations and how they affect them/us. If every group took such trouble to explain their cause, they'd have more supporters by the simple virtue that people could actually understand what they're saying, rather than wading though mountains of misdirection and propaganda.

Or maybe I'm just so used to wading through the EFF's particular brand of misdirection and propaganda that I don't notice it anymore...




EFF has a conceptually simple mission, and the things are trying to accomplish are generally good for the public at large, so they have nothing to hide behind doublespeak. Most "special interests" would be harmed by a large portion of the general public understanding the full implications of their goals, but the EFF is really in it for the good of normal individuals.
