Just to be clear, you _are_ talking about opinion biasing pools here, just on the side of the good guys?

I'd quibble with 'biasing', more like reporting. The bright line between this kind of delegation and FCC-style comment-bots is that each communication still only represents the will of one individual human. Just that they don't have to manually act each time, as they've already made their position clear.

Really it's just about changing EFF's emails from "Act now!" to "We're about to do this on your behalf! (opt out if you want)."
