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.

- beardicus 9y agoWrong. 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.

- mikegerwitz 9y agoThe 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.
