Here is an example of an organization which is encouraging their community
to oppose CISA's requirement to share essentially all user personal
and tracking information in real time with government:

I know we are are all on the same team, but when the Public Policy
department won't even say whether they intend to align their efforts in to
issues by the extent to which they affect the community, it is very easy to
become cynical and jaded.
Questions go unanswered. Drawing conclusions about motivations behind the
inability or unwillingness to address them is annoying, but the underlying
abuses and overreach are far more annoying. It annoys me to see what could
be a powerhouse for defending the community from threats to the mission has
apparently decided that a Twitter campaign is the best they can do. I hope
I am wrong, but where is the evidence that more is being done?

James,
I stopped reading your email after the third sentence. Insulting the
people you are trying to influence is rarely an effective tactic. As
someone who is also concerned about CISA, I appreciate your sincere passion
and I hope the WMF decides to take more action on it. Hopefully, we can all
remember that we are on the same team though.

As if anyone at the Foundation cares anymore. Why should they? They have
cushy jobs and assured incomes. The Foundation Legal staff has shown their
true colors by ignoring longstanding issues of interest to the Community
and focusing exclusively on resume building.
