If you are saying Levine's article criticising EFF is baseless, and then go on to handwave
CHEF-KOCH, that looks like a personal attack to me, honestly. Considering it as a sign of immaturity, I forgive you. People get uncontrollable in the heat of the moment these days.
I think I have done quite a bit for exposing the anonymous grifts going on in privacy community, proudly so. I have also been able to establish a privacy community on reddit where users get help instead of r/privacy giving privacy seekers mental health issues. I have put myself on the frontlines of Lemmy, the second biggest Fediverse network, to protect it from horrible people, all alone. I have made guides that have gained plenty recognition from all kinds of people. I give OPSEC advice. I dissected the entire WhatsApp privacy policy last year. I go around helping people beyond just the privacy communities and receive DMs for help and advice.
I do a lot for 1 person that refuses donations that have been offered. This is not my CV, and not some self drum beating, but people have no idea when amidst all this, you receive death threats, impersonator attacks, r/privacytoolsio top mod mass brigading his 200K strong subreddit to sitewide ban me, anonymous haters attacking you all the time passively via sockpuppets, and you stand strong, alone. I also mod c/privacy and c/technology besides my r/privatelife and c/privatelife.
I do a lot of work, so think before saying people do nothing. It comes off as beyond snarky and very loaded.
Do not defend corporate tools like EFF. It is all smoke and mirrors, and since you say I do nothing, if I were a multi million dollar mogul, I would be doing a lot of things, more than these people will ever do.
