Yeah, because the EFF is going to be unbiased when it comes to explaining legislation. I'm so sick of how partisan the EFF has become.

- drjesusphd 12y agoTaking a stand on an issue is not the same thing as partisianship.
- deciplex 12y agoAs opposed to...? I guess you are expecting the EFF to be neutral with regard to NSA snooping and data collection, versus NSA not doing any of those things. That's not a reasonable ask, though.
- diminoten 12y agoI'm just expecting honesty, is all. I don't feel the EFF is honest in its approach to its stances, and that makes me worry that their positions aren't defensible.
- crusso 12y agoWhat does "unbiased" mean in the context of a group that has a stated advocacy purpose? Why would we expect or want anything else? You're free to act or not upon the EFF's urging - but at least they're honest about their goals.
- diminoten 12y agoThey misrepresent views and lie about legislation. What's honest about that?
- deciplex 12y agoWhat misrepresentation? What lies? FWIW, I've read some other articles about this bill, and my opinion of it has improved slightly since reading the EFF brief here.

- diminoten 12y agoLast time I paid attention to what the EFF had to say, they were spewing lies and propaganda about CISPA.
- worklogin 12y agoThat's some nice citations there, buddy. Burden of proof doesn't fall on the accused.
- diminoten 12y agoI don't feel obligated to spend time defending my position. If you're interested, I recommend you check out the EFF's press releases about CISPA, and then compare it to what's on Wikipedia. They just make a number of legal leaps that aren't founded in any kind of law, amounting to a fearmongering argument no more valid than screaming, "BUT FREEDOM!!!!" too loudly for anyone else to object.
