"By 2024, our 2,500 X posts generated around 2 million impressions each month. To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."
"We called for: publicly shared policies, clear appeals processes, and renewed commitment to the Transparent content moderation Santa Clara Principles, real security improvements, and greater user control."
"Twitter was never a utopia. Still, Twitter did deserve recognition from time to time for vociferously fighting for its users' rights. That changed when Musk fired the entire human rights team."
"EFF exists to protect people's digital rights. Not just the people who already value our work, have opted out of surveillance, or have already migrated to the fediverse."
EFF has decided to log off from X after nearly twenty years, citing a significant decline in engagement. In 2018, their posts received 50 to 100 impressions monthly, while in 2024, 2,500 posts garnered around 2 million impressions. The organization had previously called for improvements in content moderation, security, and user control, but these were not realized under Elon Musk's leadership. Despite leaving X, EFF remains on other platforms to protect digital rights for users still engaged with mainstream services.
