Aah yes, the electronic intifada, such an excellent, neutral source for reporting.
Don’t disclose all their big donors
Peter Thiel is also one of the big donors.
Many orgs don't disclose donors, particularly those working on human rights. Imagine you are a rich person in a dictatorship who wants to improve human rights in your country, do you want your name listed on the donor registry for Amnesty International? Probably not. Amnesty, btw, sponsors the freedom forum as well alongside the city of Oslo. So Either Amnesty is in on this 4D chess you're seeing where the far right is somehow using human rights as a cover to... give us all more privacy or something, or maybe Amnesty did their due diligence and concluded that this org is worth working with.
The article states that "Who is Halvorssen? He is best known as the founder and CEO of the Human Rights Foundation, where he is listed as the lone staff member.", yet their site lists over a dozen people. So that's just a clearly factually inaccurate statement right there, makes me question the validity of the entire thing if they can't get something that simple correct. https://hrf.org/about/team/
"Halvorssen is the scion of an oligarchic Venezuelan family closely linked to the political opposition that formed against recently deceased former President Hugo Chavez"
Hmm.. I wonder if living under an autocrat might have made him care about human rights and free expression.
Believe it or not, people on the "far right" can care about human rights too, and can donate to human rights organizations, and that's ok. I challenge you to find any major human rights or civil liberties organization that doesn't have somebody "far right" or whom you otherwise disagree with strongly. Human rights is an issue that cuts across many different political ideologies. And these organizations can build tools and infrastructure to support human rights all around the globe, and do. We shouldn't be cancelling organizations just because they got money from somebody we disagree with or even detest. What they actually do with that money should be what matters, something your accusations against this org are completely devoid of because they are actually doing good things. What they're actually doing is advancing the cause of human rights globally.
