How do you figure?
The only thing I see that's wrong about this is that I don't pay the EFF to tell private companies what to do. I pay them to stop the government from turning fascist.
They're not wrong about Facebook being a POS and these new policies making it moreso, though.
Out of curiosity, do you propose any remedy for companies being acting badly? What would you do, if anything, to curb companies doing things like what FB does? What sort of organizations have a role in watching over private companies, informing the public about their activities, and provide guidance on corrective actions?
I haven't been able to think of solutions that aren't worse than what they're doing. I'm extremely wary of the government forcing Facebook to behave a certain way because of the First Amendment.

The EFF won't stop anyone from turning fascist. That's not their mission. It sounds nice though.
I wouldn't give the EFF a dime.
