EFF is Leaving X
www.eff.org
After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue.

    To the people saying things like “what took you so long”, I think you’re missing the point. They even address this in the post:

    EFF exists to protect people’s digital rights. Not just the people who already value our work, have opted out of surveillance, or have already migrated to the fediverse. The people who need us most are often the ones most embedded in the walled gardens of the mainstream platforms and subjected to their corporate surveillance.

    When the ship is sinking, there’s some value in someone staying behind to help people get off. That’s not the same as generating value for Shitter.

      As for why they did decide to leave now, they explain that their posts are being viewed by significantly less people now than in the past, so there is basically nobody left to help off the sinking ship any more.
