The EFF does not blindly take the stance that "anything should be allowed as long as you do it with a computer". Their input here is very reasonable, and in standing with their principles.

The letter is more about privacy, not freedom.

They're arguing X is a massive privacy risk and should not get any exemptions.

i don't know how you're equating "computing freedom" with regulation of privacy guards. should FTC not care about that? can you elaborate?

Why is the EFF arguing for less freedom on how computers can be used? The EFF should be against the government restricting computing freedom.

Basic human decency?
