Eh, I'm way more interested in systems that are built to technically,
or failing that, constitutionally, avoid abuses.

EFF does more than you think. They have a lot of relevant initiatives.
Just launched 
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/04/when-companies-stand-their-users
in last few days.

Again, I'm way more interested in accountability through competitive
and better alternatives than through exposes and complaining. That's a
niche all right, a worthy one, but seems kinda uninteresting here.
