I signed up for EFF newsletters when they were fighting the V-chip and DMCA. I was a teenager and couldn't suss out all the legal language in their letters. I was always unsure if I was supporting the good-guys or the bad-guys.

EFF are the good-guys. We need them fighting for our rights online. Thank you, EFF, for standing up for us. And fuck the politicians who keep trying to strip them away, either through ignorance of tech or by deliberately trying to control us.
