EFF seems to be making a habit of backing these worryingly pernicious bills.

[purpled_haze → roarkjs]

Could you provide examples? I've not personally heard of the EFF backing anything worrying.

[pc86 → purpled_haze]

worrying != worryingly pernicious

The bill does nothing of substance. That's the problem. It's a waste of resources for the EFF and frankly makes me wonder how they're spending my (and others') money.

[bitwize → roarkjs]

They are the most publicly visible electronic rights organization. It would make sense that they'd been compromised a long time ago.

[WildUtah → bitwize]

There is little evidence of that. The EFF is still very valuable to electronic freedom. This bill simply used to be much better in earlier versions.

[sneak → WildUtah]

That's true, but the comment was speculation, not accusation.
