As @teddyh pointed out: > Why EFF did this is to get journalists to get a story to write about the issue. Nobody involved cared whether anyone at Apple saw it.

  Can you direct me to a single article about this? (no the link for this thread, from their own website does not count)

      Ahh finally found one! Btw that was published after it hit the front page here, turns out that HN has more PR power than the EFF.

        >turns out that HN has more PR power than the EFF ...what? the EFF is why this is on HN right now

          ‘This’ is a discussion about whether the EFF is worth supporting. I’m not sure that is what they are trying to promote.

          'this' is on HN right now becuase rastafang posted it. I do not pretent to know what their motivation in doing so is, but I for one appreciate them bringing it to attention, 3 days after the EFF published it, in turn 7 days after the actual event itself. It was unnoticed at the event itself, barely noticed when they wrote a story about it and is only now noticed thanks to being upvoted on here.

            > 'this' is on HN right now becuase rastafang posted it uh sure, I don't think news without human intervention exists yet > It was unnoticed at the event itself, barely noticed when they wrote a story about it and is only now noticed thanks to being upvoted on here. feel free to point people to the charity with a perfect track record! I'm kind of flabbergasted by how fickle people are being about this.
