> This is something the EFF used to be good at, but now is quite bad at, and despite the fact that EFF mostly supports causes I agree with, I urge you to direct your donations to ACLU or other civil liberties charities instead. I'm not sure if that line of logic actually follows, but a rather important distinction is that many causes the EFF supports (that are publicized) have an impact globally, while the ACLU, well the 'A' in the name already says it, no? Now I still prefer to support my own local digital civil liberties groups (such as Bits of Freedom, that do great work on explaining tough computer/security/privacy subject to ancient politicians), but if we're going to be urging people to support this and not that, better give to the EFF because what they do is actually useful for more people.
