The OP said was distasteful when they turn into "political orgs with a political agenda".
The EFF is in fact, a political org with a political agenda. They don't pretend otherwise.
Whether they are working on behalf of the public all depends on your relative viewpoint.
Pretty much all of them believe they are working on behalf of the public, even the ones HN would classify as industry lobbying orgs, etc.

There is a difference between political in the sense that all legislation is political, and politics as an "us vs. them" tribal conflict where anything which is bad for your opponents is good for you and vice versa. Having anyone, but public interest orgs especially, participate in the second kind of politics is distasteful.
