Let's have a look at this 'insightful' panel that the Electronic Frontier Foundation was willing to burn it's reputation by joining:
Del Harvey - A vigilante who became famous for chasing pedophiles who recent shot to notoriety as her 'Twitter Safety Group' went to town protecting numerous media critics and journalists who are now known across twitter for defending a well known child abuser - by banning dissent.
Anita Sarkeesian - Who wishes to expand the definition of internet harassment to include 'videos which disagree with me on Youtube are harassing me.'
Chinyere Tutashinda - A black lives matter activist, a group determined to harass and attack politicians and police officers, including rioters who attack small business owners and loot their stores. Essentially a criminal.
Adria Richards - Infamous for leading a feminist hate mob against two other programmers who dared to make 'a sexually contextual joke about dongles'; essentially a leader of a harassment campaign.
Anil Dash - A lifelong activist, fronting many of the aboves political opinions, whether it be forwarding censorship, advocating for discriminatory hiring and employment policy in favour of his 'pet' groups or in supporting criminals who vandalise the business in their area.
Nadia Kayyali - An employee of the Electronic Frontier Foundation which has now sent their reputation into the muck; who's only response to the nature of the above 'activists' history of harassment and censorship was tweeting "all of the above information is just harassment." Would not look out of place in Stalinist Russia or Pyongyang
All brought to you by: Wired, well known for writing pro-censorship opinion pieces and the training ground for a number of infamously unprofessional 'in crowd' journalists including Jason Schreier and Cara Ellison.
