Very cool of the people doing the matching donations. I'm always happy to do anything I can to help the EFF. But now, more than ever, it feels like they might be our best chance to avoid dystopia.

But considering the size of the tech industry and the amount of money the internet / technology is making all of us, I'm sometimes surprised by how small the EFF is. Does anyone have any thoughts on why the EFF isn't larger and better funded like most other industry groups?

Also, why doesn't anyone seem to rally around them when an issue comes up?

As far as I can tell the EFF have been handling all the issues of the day well, but all the attention goes to upstart one-off groups that are formed and forgotten within weeks.
