Disclosure: Only bother if you are American.
Next time you ask, make sure you specify who you are serving. Congress does not serve me as a foreigner (then again, does it serve everyday Americans either?).
New title:
"Dear US Web Developers: EFF Needs Your Help"
- id 13y ago1. US laws can have a huge impact on foreigners, especially if they are Internet-related 2. you can help a good cause without directly profiting from it
- vog 13y agoWhy should the EFF discourage assistance from Non-US citizens? AFAICS, this is all about accessing and describing publicly available web forms. You don't need to be US citizen to do that.
- AYBABTME 13y agoI'm a canadian student and I give money to the EEF each month because they're one of the strongest defendant of the web out there. I don't care if they're focused in the US; I care they're there to protect us.
- lauradhamilton 13y agoCongress doesn't serve you, that's true, but a bad and out-of-touch congress will certainly make your life worse.
- phantom_oracle 13y agoSo basically, what you guys are trying to say is that a foreign organization that can lose control, can possibly (and likely does) harm me whether I have direct involvement with them or not? That sounds like terrorism (ironically). Then again, if you try to point out a different view on HN concerning some subject ... aah forget it.
