Might have more people who care if they were still on X. EFF is a lost cause.

Reminder: this is their #1 most used tool for collecting data. Snowden told us of the existence of this program under the codename PRISM. This allows them to download the entire contents of your gmail instantly, directly from Google, without a warrant. Or your iCloud Photos and Backups (complete iMessage history) directly from Apple. No warrant required.

Adapting my reply to a comment: By leaving X, EFF has made a “politically correct” statement outside their core mission, which alienates potential allies.

I like 702 in theory but I'm not sure I like the FBI having access since they are for domestic policing. What changes should be made? The probable cause requirement for FBI sounds like a reasonable compromise.

It shouldn't be reformed! It should be eliminated... Enforce the 4th amendment!!! Properly interpret the 2nd...
