EFF is finally leaving X and here is a blog post about why: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/eff-leaving-x
EFF is Leaving X

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.

@evacide Good.

At this point, no one and no organization get points for leaving xtwitter.
But they do stop self-humiliating if they do so.

@colo_lee @evacide and why shouldn’t they get points for it? Leaving that platform is still a good idea, and positive reinforcement is a powerful force for encouraging the behavior we want.

Sure, it's good. And certainly not premature.

@cwg1231 @colo_lee @evacide I haven't read the blog post yet, and I def agree it should have happened waaaaay sooner. But I also think there should be a path for redemption in most cases of wrongdoing. Maybe that path requires a bit more than a late exit from a harmful platform. I don't know. But I'm glad they finally left. It shows others they can still leave too.
