Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

As individual, fully legally (we are all law abiding citizens here)?
The effective altruist way: if you have high paying job, grind extra hard and donate the money to some trustworthy and effective organization fighting for privacy rights (no idea if there are any).
The less effective but more altruist way: drop your job and other obligations and become full time agitator for the cause. In modern world, it means shitpost on the internets (so far, AI will soon replace these jobs).
Ah, this is a good idea, I don't know why I didn't think of that myself. I'd love to know if anyone here who knows of any good places to donate for this sort of thing. The other night I did a little research on the topic and the ACLU had a long screed against Flock cameras but I know the right generally dislikes this organization. I'd be happier donating to a neutral or bipartisan org instead if anyone can recommend one.
The Institute for Justice filed a federal lawsuit that I believe is currently on appeal, and likely has more in the pipeline. They're basically a libertarian ACLU focusing on property rights and economic freedom. They probably also have a way to donate directly to their Fourth Amendment/surveillance work if you want to laser-focus your contribution, but I think they're pretty unobjectionable from a conservative perspective in general. They mostly go after governments for making it hard to start small businesses.
