That is just... stupid. Calling out a major corporation for deceptive practices is "stirring up trouble"? A non-profit organization is supposed to be "on the same side" as some company you arbitrarily annoint as the holy one? Someone who "knows who they are" seriously believes they are "being paid" to do what they always do, shine a light on troubling events in the digital world?

Are you a t-mobile employee?

I'm not a T-Mobile employee. I'm a T-Mobile customer, and as a customer I would hate to see them go down for something that I don't think to be a big deal. EFF could have easily told T-Mobile diplomatically that they're misinforming consumers instead of feeding the story to media outlets.
Legere has a bit of a personality cult thing going on here. A lot of people will just swallow his bs hook, line, and sinker without really thinking it through.

And today he was talking trash about EFF, getting his ditto-heads fired up to be 'anti EFF'.
