What is that "but does advocate for transparency" even supposed to mean? EFF is not a government, it doesn't have to be transparent at all.

It's a 501c charity, so it does have to be somewhat transparent in exchange for its protected tax status.
What is hard to understand here, really? Nobody said anything about EFF having to be transparent.
That text in parenthesis is completely irrelevant to the rest of the sentence and feels cheap. It's clearly trying to convey "they advocate for transparency but aren't even transparent themselves", which is missing the point. I read it as a form of manipulation to instill particular feeling towards EFF in the reader.
How is that missing the point? Transparency isn't just for governments and if you advocate for transparency in others you should adopt it yourself.

It's like the Bono Haiti charity. Dude just made it to raise awareness that there are poor people in Haiti. No shit...
