I just went down a #RationalWiki rabbithole and somehow ended up at this hit piece on the #EFF:

It reminds me of the similar #Baffler piece about Tim O'Reilly, which all but ignores the existence of RMS or anyone else who doesn't fit into its narrative that #OpenSource is all a conspiracy by O'Reilly and Silicon Valley:

The Baffler publishes some great writing by #DavidGraeber and other activist academics. But for some reason every piece it publishes on tech follows Adam Curtis down his technologically illiterate, '... Machines of Loving Grace' conspiracy theory rabbit-hole, reducing an incredibly complex, global, political struggle to Silicon Valley corporations vs. the US government. As if the two are on different sides, and the rest of us have to pick one. Get real.
