Sometimes it feels like the EFF is the only one holding back the tide. Everyone should donate to EFF ❤️
All my homies love the EFF.
They’re awesome, but I feel like it’ll go the way of the ACLU eventually.
Like nowadays on Reddit you see a lot of support for all the bureaucratic regulation like the AI act, Cybersecurity act, etc. empowering Big Tech monopolies and Big Government control over start-ups and tinkerers.
I am not sure I understand what you mean here, what is the deal with the ACLU?
They abandoned a lot of the Free Speech stuff - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_Liberties_Union#Waning_interest_in_defending_white_supremacists’_first_amendment_rights
Obviously I don’t support white supremacists, but they’ve stepped away from being defenders of the constitution in that respect. Same for defending those not using certain pronouns, etc.
In 2021, the ACLU responded to the criticisms by denying that they are reducing their support for unpopular First Amendment causes and listing 27 cases from 2017 to 2021 where the ACLU supported a party holding an unpopular or repugnant viewpoint. The cases included one which challenged college restrictions on hate speech; a case defending a Catholic school’s right to discriminate in hiring; and a case that defended antisemitic protesters who marched outside a synagogue.
Disappointed in jetbrains here. What the hell are they thinking. Next up maybe sue some torrent client or the Tor browser because you’re able to access jetbrains keys that way.
The fight of making networks responsible for the contents for private communication is ever-green. This is why I donate to the EFF.
