Sep 5, 2026, 1:25 AM@fullywoolly @eff I think one really sad part about all this is the EFF still does good things... but they really need to stop this AI support right away!!
I don't know if people can ever fully trust an organization that supported AI ever again, but I think if they walk back this post and put out an official statement it would go a long way towards rebuilding that road.
Please EFF ... we need you... just not like this.
@corigan01 first Debian and now @eff
I don't know how I can trust them when this is their take. I don't know what redemption would even look like. A strongly worded letter wouldn't do it.
Sep 5, 2026, 1:50 AM@fullywoolly @eff I think that's fair, and I am also very heartbroken about Debian (gotta move my infra over to NetBSD or something now).
However, I am also slightly concerned that the other work they are pushing for might be unsupported if enough people leave the EFF. I am not saying that the EFFs actions are okay here, and we should seriously consider other options from now on, but we cannot forget about the other efforts they are doing to help keep our last remaining digital rights in check.
I really don't know what to make of all this (just like Debian), we need them, but they broke our trust and I don't know what the future holds now. I am very confused if I should even award them this last sliver of doubt.... I guess I just am still in denial that the EFF of all organizations would fumble this hard.
@corigan01 @eff yeah ... The grief and betrayal is hard. You don't have to act rashly. Take the time you need to process this.
@corigan01 @fullywoolly @eff I'm also disappointed by this stance enough to pause my support. That hurts because there is so much opportunity and need for the good work you can do and have done.
Please do better (literally).
