I do not, and I do not like them either. They are a liberal lobby.


Which specific EFF policies/goals are you opposed to?


Off the top of my head: the bashing of Rob Graham, the defense of concepts that have nothing to do with our rights on the Internet, such as feminism.


I just spent several minutes googling for "EFF" in conjunction with "feminism" and didn't find anything that appeared to be relevant. I did the same for Rob Graham, and he apparently doesn't like the EFF, but I haven't found the EFF saying anything about him yet. I'm sure someone associated with the EFF has mentioned these things at some point, but they don't appear to be major issues. Could you give me some links?


Don't feed the trolls. I don't think his contributions to this thread warrant further discussion.


Feminism: most of their staff are feminists. I'm not going to spend my time googling and posting links. Here's a start https://www.eff.org/about/staff

Rob Graham was called out in this article which was subsequently edited: https://twitter.com/ErrataRob/status/553716844650307584

Also, they lie constantly, in lousy attempts of populism and being lavished with attention: http://blog.erratasec.com/2014/07/eff-lies-about-netneutrali...


Rob Graham seems to like free markets (great) but think US cable companies are a free market (plainly wrong). Thus he thinks that it's a bad idea to protect the internet free market from the cable monopolies. It's a noble cause, he's just not well informed.

Their staff might be feminists, but that doesn't mean they engage in gender discrimination. If you have something better, post it.


This can't be a serious reply...
