Why is a .ai link the source instead of EFF

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's re-posted from a news community, where it was since removed for not being from an acceptable news site. Unfortunately, the acceptable news sites covered this more than 30 days ago, which disqualifies their articles regardless of whether they were ever posted to the community. shrug

I couldn't find a better article in the time I had to spare, so I re-posted this one. I think what's important in this case is just that word gets out. I don't see anything misleading about this one, and the EFF link (which is also not exactly a news site) is plainly visible.
