.. what does that have to do with anything?


There are dozens of NGOs trying to save you from genetically modified crops, or raising awareness about chemicals in your soap, or fighting day and night to save cockroaches from extinction. The only one that absent is the NGO that would make a list of goods spying on a customer and bring it up on some website. Isn't that funny?


Mozilla kind of started one last year although I don't know if it's still maintained.

I would have thought this was within the remit of the EFF, but then so are a lot of other things.


Wouldn’t the list of config files in openwrt itself work?


For Uncle Joe? I doubt it.
