EFF Establishes ‘Stop the BitLicense’ Webpage

There’s a variety of feelings surrounding the BitLicense proposal, and it seems like an overwhelming amount of folks just aren’t pleased with where the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) is taking this whole initiative.
That includes the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The non-profit organization focused on digital rights has established a new webpage spotlighting the BitLicense and, well, their attempts to get the proposal from moving forward.
They write:
The State of New York is proposing a ‘BitLicense’ for people creating and innovating around virtual currencies like Bitcoin. It’s bad news for privacy and free speech. But we have a chance to change the proposal or even stop it altogether. Send a letter to the New York Department of Financial Services today.
