1. Both 2. Not sure what you're trying to say. The EFF is not a free lawyer service. It exists to defend and enhance civil liberties and freedom of speech and is thus very picky about the cases it takes, and rightly so. For more inform

The EFF does not have unlimited resources to defend every single C&D case across the country. They pick and choose their cases to have the maximum impact and provide the best precedent for future cases. And they act according to the man

FFS. China has private ownership of property encoded in its constitution. What are you even talking about? Very frustrating to watch these energetic discussions with strongly-held views based on pure nonsense. It's 2017 guys. You have

I don't know about the "crime against humanity" but it's pretty hard to disagree with him on that topic. Most opponents fall back to crude insults, as you have. I suspect that a majority of reasonable people would agree

And so exactly how is the top-most comment more reliable than the article then? Same people voting, same lack of critical analysis. At least the bloody author probably spent more than 5 seconds making up his mind. > I don't even go

Fully aware of that and I fully agree. I am not putting him up as some sort of cult figure - he definitely has an agenda, and pushes it masterfully. That said it is probably the best argued agenda I have ever heard. As a full-blown atheist

This attitude might have served you well this time, but who's to say every other time will be the same? I detect a far too eager appetite to embrace the brisk dismissals of others. It won't serve you well in the long term. There a
