Funding Priorities in Privacy Activism
If given a significant amount of funding for a privacy-related project or organization, a strong emphasis would be placed on supporting organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, which actively advocate for legislative changes and public benefits. The discussion acknowledges that while financial support could create short-term gains for existing services, it might not significantly alter their long-term trajectory. Various organizations like OnionShare and SyncThing are identified as potential beneficiaries that could enhance their existing capabilities with additional resources. Ultimately, the focus would be to ensure that funds are directed toward initiatives with sustainability and real impact in the privacy activism space.
