- tpmx 5y agoAh, so his sin was that he called for a formal legal process instead of "trial by rumor". Burn the witch!
- cbvx10 5y agoOk, advocating against extrajudicial punishment (like djb also did) is of course monstrous behavior for woke directors. So the EFF has also departed from its mission. We learn (https://www.eff.org/de/pages/effs-diversity-statement https://www.eff.org/de/pages/effs-diversity-statement): "Diversity of life experiences makes a big difference in how we identify and litigate cases, design privacy-enhancing software, and organize our activism." Another institution has been taken over. I can't find the donor list, it would be interesting.

- arminiusreturns 5y agoWow I sorta lost track of Jacob and wasn't aware of this drama. I followed the trail a bit and here are the relevant court docs.

- zozbot234 5y agoWhile interesting, this seems hard to square with the EFF itself siding with Assange who was accused of the same thing in Sweden.
