EFF is pointless

At this point it should be plainly obvious that the state power structure exists completely outside of this concept the EFF sees as the 'legal system'. Filing lawsuits, sending petitions, forming Facebook campaigns shows a naive ignorance of the true nature of the legal and electronic reality that the U.S. citizen lives in.

The EFF is a relic of a time when there was a functioning justice system.. they are so hopelessly outmatched it's kind of sad to see this kind of activity still going on. The leadership in this group has obviously not internalized the technological reality that Snowden has revealed.

This is kind of like NATO sending that sad little convoy through Eastern Europe to 'send a message' to Putin, who has hypersonic EMP missiles on standby that can rewrite the entire European geopolitical reality in a few hours. The West has been hopelessly outmatched at pretty much all levels.
