> Sorry, but the reality is, to attain privacy, users need to take action.

Sadly that is true and sadly that site is part of that problem.

I think Sprint's main point was the "please embed our javascript" part though. For what reason is that not meant to be self-hosted?

It's not sad that people need to take action. Taking action feels great, and is empowering.

Reset the Net is a step forward. A step, on a journey towards a society which stands up for itself, by taking action.

The purpose is to showcase all of the awesome companies who really care about privacy, and showing users methods by which they can increase the privacy in their electronic communications.

There's really no pressure for you to embed any JavaScript.

I think you completely misunderstood the issue which is that linking to a third-party hosted javascript exposes your visitors to that third-party.
Snowden and Schneier endorsed Reset the Net. Google, Mozilla, EFF, Twitter, and many others endorsed it. A bunch of awesome users participated, and shared how they are making positive changes as well. Feel free to share too, if you have anything positive to contribute. https://www.resetthenet.org/#add-yourself
I give up. You dodge and dodge and dodge with grandiose marketing speak. I am disgusted.
