Well, if there was a more right-leaning advocacy organization that provided a similar level of lobbying and awareness for all of the digital issues that are important to people like me, I might consider contributing. I donate to the EFF now and will continue to do so.
I don't like the mention of groups like Occupy and BLM. Those are anarchist groups and I have no use for them. Coordinating with them will do our side (the side that cares about making sure we retain all of our rights in the "digital world" that we do in the physical one) more harm than good.
- rz2k 11y agoDuring the time of the debate around SOPA or PIPA, I found the Cato Institue particularly useful for two reasons: 1. There are a lot of people who won't read something from an organization with a liberal reputation regardless of the merits of the argument. 2. Their arguments matched up closely with mine. From an economic and game theory perspective I was mostly concerned about the implicit favoring of incumbent market participants, where upstarts wouldn't be able to build a business involving anonymous user-generated content. And, that there would be fewer lively communities and discussions overall with anonymous contributors.
