After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵(1/5)

Whoever is advising @EFF on social strategy should be fired. Their reach on their X account is 13.3x larger than on their Instagram account—and on 228x larger than their TikTok account. If they want their foundation to have an impact on the global conversation, the only place is on X.

New (seriously): FIFA has now created an extra ticket category to sell "front" row World Cup seats for double the price of Category 1 tickets (which supposedly could’ve yielded “front” row seats). Fans feel deceived. More @TheAthleticFC... nytimes.com/athletic/71829…
The 𝕏 algorithm is open source and updated frequently, but you do not point to any alleged bias or suggest corrections, choosing instead to leave for platforms that everyone knows have a strong bias for political correctness, which just another way of saying “lies”. You used to be about freedom and truth, but now you want to destroy freedom of speech and artificially suppress viewpoints that run contrary to the lunatic-left activism that drives your every action. Shame on you.

Our continued presence on other platforms like Facebook and TikTok is not an endorsement. We stay because the people there deserve access to info, too. We stay because the fewer steps between you and the resources you need to protect yourself, the better. (4/5) ssd.eff.org
When you go online, your rights should go with you. X is no longer where the fight is happening. EFF takes on big fights, and we win by putting our time, skills, and members’ support where they will have the most impact. Right now, that means Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and eff.org. We hope you follow us there and keep supporting the work we do. eff.org/deeplinks/2026… (5/5)
EFF exists to protect people's digital rights. Not just the people who already value our work, have opted out of surveillance, or have already migrated to the fediverse. The people who need us most are often the ones most embedded in the walled gardens of the mainstream platforms. (3/5) eff.org/deeplinks/2022…
