Et Tu EFF? Sigh. I remember when they supported open source. Won’t give them my support going forward. At least rms is still alive and kicking.

Two years ago, I personally complained to EFF folks that I knew about the censorship of Twitter users like the NY Post. They said nothing. They seemed to have chosen sides. Long ago they cared about censorship and free speech. Now I just don't know.

I noticed it as well, they were slowly sliding in hopes no one would notice, when did EFF became ideological?

They're an advocacy campaign for a certain set of issues. That always has been ideological, come on. You almost can't find a purer example honestly, it's their entire purpose and the reason they exist.

Which issues they focus on and how definitely does change over time. Maybe you don't like those changes, but they didn't suddenly become something they weren't before.

Maybe when the late great JPB passed on? Hurts my ears to listen, burns my eyes to see.

They don't need it if they get Elon on board.

But they won't. To get out the value he poured in, he will need to run it the way Murdoch runs Fox News, the WSJ, and lots else. Twitter is a bigger megaphone than even the Murdoch empire.
