Perhaps we as individuals, or the WMF as an organisation, might also like to sign up to Mozilla's campaign "stopwatching.us"?

I note from the selected list of organisations that have already signed (of whom several are our frequent allies) we would be in good company.
Hi, Liam-
Participating in StopWatching is definitely one of the options. For WMF to get involved in that way, there needs to be a consultation with the Advocacy Advisors list and (time permitting) an RFC. By following that process, we can be sure that the actions WMF takes are consistent with community's opinion on the topic.
If you think WMF should be more involved, we (as always) invite and encourage you to start an RFC or discussion on Advocacy Advisors. We would pay close attention to those, and use them to help us guide our next steps. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to support, of course.

Thanks- Luis
