I cannot support the EFF as long as they willfully and intentionally misrepresent basic facts about issues they're involved in.

The EFF's positions on both net neutrality and CISPA have been intentionally misleading, and until they correct their stance I will not consider it my "responsibility" to support them.

Can you expand on this? What have they been misleading about?

If you read their press release about CISPA, and then read the Wikipedia page, you'll find a number of direct discrepancies.

For example, the EFF claims that cyber intelligence is user data, when in reality it's IPs, domains, md5s, general behavior of threat actors. The EFF intentionally pretends like companies want to give away user information, when in reality, companies want to enable the US government to protect its citizens.
