#2Thats pretty great bang-for-buck, they've got a lot of ongoing cases, and the website has been pretty superb over the last year.
Nice vertical javascript timeline on Surveillance.
Id be very interested to see a compiled / aggregated list of sentencing for hacker and whistle-blower related prosecutions... I think we'd see a sadly consistent picture, which would help get the word out to non-geeks.

#3They are fighting for all of us. If you can afford to, please donate (I did last night).

#4EFF has been warning us about our government abusing our trust long before this scandal broke. Imagine that EFF had the membership and money that the NRA has. You can be sure our privacy rights would be much stronger now. There is something you can do about it:

Post about this topic on Facebook and G+ help to educate our circle of friends. Even my nontechnical friends are upset to hear that Ge government has acces to their data.

#6It's a disgrace. Not to pick on any particular person, considering that Silicon Valley has dozens of billionaires and thousands of filthy rich people, but Sean Parker got lucky with Facebook and spent like $12.5m in a wedding (including a fine). It's their money and all, but can't these rich people also write a $1 million check to an org as important as EFF ?

#7not sure how much familiar you are with EFF though, it is called electronic FRONTIER foundation (not FREEDOM foundation)

Can you write a $5 check to "an org as important as EFF", or are you just complaining that rich people don't donate?

#9I've just set up for 10% of my royalties from https://leanpub.com/lispwebtales to go to the EFF. It's a very modest contribution(I made ~150$ this month from the book, and expect slightly less next one) but I intend to increase the percentage if sales go up.
Leanpub makes it very easy to set up such donations, if you are an author, consider doing so. You owe it to the free internet that you have such an opportunity in the first place. At least that is my reasoning.

#101) it's "Electronic Frontier Foundation"
2) It's a disgrace that they get so few donations. If that is our investment in our digital future, it's no wonder that it's all going downhill... If you are an entrepreneur or developer, you should seriously consider making healthy, recurring donations.
