to have impact, your group has to be able to reach consensus positions on current events and then promote their view.

to get consensus reliably, the group’s charter needs to be adequately narrow to maintain the group’s sense of shared interest

you are not going to get meaningful consensus from a General Computing group, nor an energetic presence

Is that not the EFF already?

Not to my knowledge, they handle rights abuses related to specific cases involving privacy. They don't really seem to handle corporate anti-trust abuse.
