EFF is a public good, clearly we all benefit from them taking the time to draft this letter. This letter is merely between attorneys but has all of the work required for a legal brief including tons of citations of precedent. Thanks, EFF!

everyone should donate! as someone mentioned on a previous post, they are giving away some cool swag as part of their Summer Security Camp right now if you donate (including a sweatshirt, with a $25 recurring monthly donation). EFF really does an immense amount of great work. https://supporters.eff.org/donate/summer-security-camp-dd https://supporters.eff.org/donate/summer-security-camp-dd

EFF isn't as good. They criticize NSA and other alleged privacy violators while it turns a blind eye on the worst offenders: google and facebook. I would not donate to them.

  But we all let google and facebook take our data. However, what they criticize the NSA for is that they rarely follow the law and spy on people without them ever knowing

  Wrong. EFF has gone after both Facebook and Google. Specifically, they filed an FTC complaint against Google claiming privacy violations, and they defended a client against a CFAA lawsuit from Facebook. This took 30 seconds to look up. I'm sure there's more examples, but I can't be arsed.

    The FTC complaint was for student privacy: https://www.eff.org/document/ftc-complaint-google-education https://www.eff.org/document/ftc-complaint-google-education Their student privacy campaign has been invaluable to me, and I have used numerous EFF resources in (ongoing) correspondence and a meeting with assistant superintendents of my school district on precisely those topics.

Also, though it may not add up to much, you can donate a small portion of your Amazon purchases to them through the Amazon Smile program. Install the SmileAlways extension and all your purchases will go through Smile
