The rhetoric used to defeat digital rights progress

Once again, Samantha Floreani has published a great opinion piece about the whataboutism of digital rights activism and their experience trying to fight it, comparing it to where climate change activism was years ago - "we are relying on convincing people with research and logic, and it's not working". The other side however simply has to invoke the "Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse", terrorists, paedophiles, drug dealers, and money launderers and immediately whatever you're proposing puts you on the same of groups everyone agrees are arseholes. It's tough work this stuff. Support the EFA & DRW.
