Re: EFF has turned a corner

"What's really needed is a private non-profit with the technical expertise to do serious computer security research and open source distribution, that would include counter-surveillance technologies."

To pull something like this off, the non-profit would likely have to be a transnational on the level of, say, the Red Cross, to be able to stand up to pressure from state agents. Thing is, the states are the incumbents and would be likely to either nip something like this in the bud or infiltrate and subvert it.
