Keep in mind that the EFF fully supports the FCC's Net Neutrality rules and direction. They simply want "General Conduct" clarified so that the FCC rules can withstand any court challenges. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is one of the very important and well-respected entities that has been protecting an open Internet while promoting civil liberties for all individuals in the digital world.
Lets read the opening paragraph from the EFF which you did not quote...
"For many months, EFF has been working with a broad coalition of advocates to persuade the Federal Communications Commission to adopt new Open Internet rules that would survive legal scrutiny and actually help protect the Open Internet. Our message has been clear from the beginning: the FCC has a role to play, but its role must be firmly bounded.
Two weeks ago, we learned that we had likely managed the first goal—the FCC is going to do the right thing and reclassify broadband as a telecommunications service, giving it the ability to make new, meaningful Open Internet rules. But we are deeply concerned that the FCC’s new rules will include a provision that sounds like a recipe for overreach and confusion: the so-called “general conduct rule.”"
