Right. I think I'm beginning to get over my sense of betrayal after my recent #EFF encounter. It's a part of grieving, I suppose, to accept that an organisation that styles itself after something like JPB's "Declaration of independence of cyberspace" (or whatever cringe title he used) aren't primarily a humanist organisation. They're techno-fetishists.

The EFF is promoting the Fediverse in an online event next week! We've put it on our community calendar: https://fediforum.org/events #eff #fediverse #activitypub

This Friday at DEF CON I host the @eff@mastodon.social Poker Tournament, and novices are especially welcome. We play Fri Aug 7, noon to 3, at the Horseshoe Poker Room in Vegas, with my dad running a beginner clinic at 11. This is not the ESPN boys' club version of poker. The room is safe, surveilled, and respectful, and the dealers are briefed to teach, not judge. Your buy-in donation is also a full year of EFF membership. Send eff.org/poker to one curious friend. #DEFCON #EFF #Poker

John Oliver just released an incredibly well researched episode about police surveillance technology. He goes thoroughly through all the details, while keeping things at a level that's accessible for regular people to understand. I highly recommend you share this with people who might not otherwise be fully aware of the current state of state surveillance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnBPhelCdWE #surveillance #flock #alpr #bigBrother #news #USPol #EFF #civilRights #digitalRights
