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.

Electronic Frontier Foundation
Twitter was never a utopia. We've criticized the platform for about as long as it's been around. Still, Twitter did deserve recognition from time to time for vociferously fighting for its users' rights. That changed. (2/5)
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. (3/5)
Our continued presence on other platforms like Facebook and TikTok is not an endorsement. We stay because the people there deserve access to info, too. We stay because the fewer steps between you and the resources you need to protect yourself, the better. (4/5)
@eff Good, and I see your point. But l would also suggest that, while you're still on such platforms, you also heavily promote "follow us on Mastodon". Every little bit helps.

@rozeboosje @eff

yes! exactly this💙💯
People who #Resist need to think more strategically about media

promote our own; grow our own

i used to see BTC repost his ex-twitter posts on bsky, like, Look what i said on that site where the conversations occur. i'll share it w/ you, too. 🤮

That is ass backwards! (honestly i don't think he read a single post trying to get him to stop. glad i'm here now)

let's promote the #Fediverse 💙
let's promote #Mastodon 💙
#BreakTheOligarchy ‼️
