I’ve seen The Internet Defense League is nos Fight for the Future. I’ve seen their page and I found it really interesting. Some privacy-focused companies like DuckDuckGo, Tron and a huge number of VPN companies have donated money to them. But something called my attention: they said they use Google Analytics (although it is opt-in) and all the forms and documents are hosted or powered by google. You’ve already known Google is a truly privacy-invasive company, so that’s the question: is FIght of the Future trustable?

    I didn’t find anything weird in their privacy policy, but anyway, their message is contradictory. They said in the About Us page:

    We fight for policy victories that make the biggest difference for the people who are most affected.

    And yeah, you can implement Do Not Track and whatever, but what happen to people who don’t know it? In my country most people doesn’t even care about their digital privacy. We are not under CCPA or GDPR protection, I think if you know how nowadays works, you must know the privacy problem is not just DNT, and if you are using Google services you are necessarily giving money to them. I don’t know, i feel their message like the contradiction of Startpage, who built a search engine that protect your privacy but paying it to google…
