Not that Ms. Steele reads Hacker News, but thank you for everything you have done.

The EFF consistently takes on unpopular or cringe-worthy cases because they are able to see the bigger picture, and how even the smallest ruling against privacy in the age of the internet can have a butterfly effect that can last ages.

In the sea of questions about privacy and authority, the EFF had become such a consistent voice. That the EFF seems to be attached in some way to almost every case that - at least I feel - is an egregious overstep of authority is both a source of actualization and comfort, in that even if the day is lost, I know the fight was good, and will continue onward in another venue, on another battlefield.

I have donated repeatedly to the EFF for these reasons, and I hope anyone listening will as well.

Again, Ms. Steele, and by extension, everyone at the EFF, thank you, thank you, and all the best of luck in whatever is next.

Thanks to Shari and everyone else at the EFF who continue to do amazing work.

Her farewell letter is an interesting read. And it reminds me I haven't donated this year so that's on the todo list.

indeed, Amazing work. Among other projects, EFF has been waging war on patent trolls well before the subject was general knowledge.
