      Regardless of these accusations coming out, Yashas article and criticisms are still pretty trash. The Baffler piece they wrote and refer to defends SOPA/PIPA with "but something must be done!" and doesn't address any detail or specific criticisms whatsoever, misrepresents certain positions the EFF took and for some reason implies writing a tracking cookie blocker for chrome is somehow evidence of being pro-google (the plugin also exists for Firefox).
