●● EFF Takes Money From US Nazis to Speak for Prostitutes and Frame Privacy (or Net Liability) as a Sex Issue

Posted in Deception, EFF, Finance at 7:34 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

How is this man even remotely compatible with the EFF’s original mission? Sciencewash as a revenue model?

Summary: The EFF is becoming more about sex than about digital rights, based on yesterday’s podcast (two blog posts about it, with the episodes distributed through centralised, proprietary platforms with DRM). Does the EFF really want to frame privacy activism as fighting for prostitutes (“Safer Sex Work Makes a Safer Internet”)? The people who took control of the EFF canceled a co-founder because of an alleged sex scandal (he wasn’t the first) and the EFF now produces shows with prostitutes as “experts” in them. This helps stigmatise privacy advocates. The EFF has been in the red (losses), probably for the first time in its history, for several years now. When the original founder ran it they fought against power and raised money from members. Now it’s run by billionaires, gives awards to Microsofters, and gives a voice to people who promote prostitution. The above shows the EFF repeatedly thanking “Alfred P. Sloan Foundation” (“Let’s take a quick moment to say thank you to our sponsor. “How to Fix the Internet” is supported by The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation” and then again towards the end; screenshots above). Does the EFF know or care that General Motors under Alfred P. Sloan helped the Nazis? This isn’t the first example of EFF acting as a front for billionaires, or the powerful instead of the powerless.
