Can you clarify of how EFF abandoned their core mission?
From what I see, EFF was not public on why Gilmore was removed. According to wikipedia, Gilmore described the parting as amicable, so probably the decision of EFF is not too strongly opposed to core value of Gilmore himself.
For the rest, apparently, there are just rumors.
Some of those rumors are funny. For example, I've seen things like "I think it was because Gilmore sided with Applebaum. This is scandalous, because Gilmore was just doing the correct thing of refusing to accuse people just based on rumors. So, I therefore declare that EFF is a big bad evil, I accuse them, just based on rumors"

- cauch 4y agoFair enough. If you don't want to, you don't have to. On my side, my quest to understand why the EFF is somehow bad now continues. The closest I've got was so far was people who, after few exchanges, showed that they don't really care about the principles, just about what "side" is the one they consider "the good one".
