Source evidence
1 src · 2 checksNoteThe source text explicitly states 'The Electronic Frontier Foundation was founded in July of 1990' and names the three primary founders as Mitch Kapor, John Perry Barlow, and John Gilmore. The claim specifies the founding date as 1990-07 (July 1990) and lists the same three founders. The date format difference (1990-07 vs 'July of 1990') is a notational equivalence, not a contradiction. All key facts match.
NoteThe source text explicitly states 'The Electronic Frontier Foundation was founded in July of 1990' which directly confirms the claim that EFF's founded date is 1990-07 (July 1990). The source also mentions 'EFF's 35th Anniversary' which is consistent with a 1990 founding date (35 years from 1990 would be approximately 2025, aligning with current context).
