[Meme] GAFAM Buying Shares in NYSE:EFF
Context: Sometimes the EFF Prefers to Talk About Sex, Not Tech (or Unnecessarily Conflate the Two Things)
SOMETIMES it makes you wonder...
Something has been wrong at the EFF for nearly a decade and it got worse when a co-founder died, another one got pushed out (he joined FSF instead), and messaging changed to pursue goals other than the original EFF's. Worse yet, the EFF took money from GAFAM, gave awards for GAFAM objectives (and to GAFAM employees), and published spin for GAFAM. Today's EFF is funded by billionaires. The EFF still asks for donations for ordinary (relatively poor) people, so it doesn't look that way (appearances matter).
To the ordinary person, today's EFF isn't a go-to protector, it's just meant to look like one. █
