This shit is broke af. EFF is the most freedom of speech biased media there is.

SteveFromMySpace ,

It says factual reporting is “high.” That’s not easy with MBF.

9tr6gyp3 ,

EFF is very one-sided though. The do not give the other side as much praise.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Why would they? The democrats are the only ones who care at all about net neutrality, online privacy, etc. The GQP are not at all aligned with their mission and values. The democrats generally are. And when they aren’t, the EFF has no issue shitting on those in Congress who are part of the problem. Party be damned.

Bias is not inherently wrong or immoral. They aren’t even a media outlet. They are an advocacy group and they stick to the facts.

Im not saying the bias is wrong or incorrect. In fact, the EFF does great reporting.

But it is preferential and inclined reporting.

verdigris ,

That’s why it’s marked as “center-left”. But it’s factual.

9tr6gyp3 ,

Usually, yes.

Factual reporting has nothing to do with “giving the other side …. praise”

glockenspiel ,

How do you mean “the other side?” EFF has a high factuality/credibility but is marked as left of center in bias.

EFF, like ACLU, are mostly orgs that stick to their expertise. Look at entities rated as “Very High.” The climate science orgs don’t and shouldn’t give time entertaining the deranged conspiracy theories of science deniers, nor should EFF focus on advancing rhe worldviews of entities looking to limit speech on the internet. It would be like demanding AA set aside time at meetings to discuss the merits of getting black out drunk once in a while.

Sure, many sides exist. But mere existence doesn’t make them equal.

Other side as in authoritarianism? No thanks.

9tr6gyp3 ,

Regardless if the other side is authoritarian or not, the EFF is very preferential and inclined in their reporting. Im not saying they’re wrong. In fact, they do great reporting. But it is biased reporting by definition.

The EFF has fought many terrible patents and laws in the online era. The alternative is less rights and less innovation lmao

mox OP ,

The do not give the other side as much praise.

Exactly what “other side” do you want to see represented?
