I feel like the linked article from GP has plenty of additional details linked. There is also plenty of media coverage on what they are discussing.

I am confused what is perceived as actually missing and why that missing content is somehow an indict on EFF

It's their official press release, why are you defending them when they didn't even lay out the issue in their official press release? And sure, if you go through everything linked, you can piece together a fair bit of the story. It's a press release though-- as in something they want the press to pickup on and report on. The press isn't great at reporting on technical issues to begin with. Do you really think the EFF is doing a good job when it sprinkles the details over links to a half dozen other pages?

Don't get me wrong, this isn't the way all of their stuff reads. But it happens from time to time,and I expect better from the EFF when a simple extra paragraph would do the job and they're an organization that I very much expect to do a better job at providing information than this.
