Business interests are non partisan? This is close to claiming national interests are non partisan. Which just feels laughable.

Political parties are made up of members. Some members will benefit from some policies. Many because their business interests will benefit from said policies. To claim they are unrelated seems fishy, at best.

Now, you are probably right that nobody cares at high level whether it is a Democrat or a Republican policy that is benefiting them. I would wager the odds are good that businesses frequently get benefits from one more than the other, though.

Though (commercial?) business interests can be partisan, I’d like to see the EFF just mind the law (legal) aspect of things, rather than get into politics.

What I mean is act more like a non partisan judge who puersues justice rather than an entity that evolves into a political entity which becomes activist in pursuit of its own goals.

This honestly sounds like you just disagree with them. They are literally a political organization. They are, ideally, not just a front for democrats or republicans. However, if they were just a front for the law, they would be unnecessary. Since, well, the law should already be a front for the law. :)
