#3> The decisions by Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and others to suspend and/or block President Trump’s communications via their platforms is a simple exercise of their rights, under the First Amendment and Section 230, to curate their sites.
EFF supporting corporate personhood and private censorship?
It's time to restart the cycle with new means of communication that the new establishment cannot police.

#4I see. Hold your ground for free speech till... Ok, we were kidding we were just bluffing. Go ahead. We don't care. We support corporate censorship now full throat. It's for the best. We're looking out for your own good.
I mean really, so you know it was in the government's purview to hold Snowden, Manning and Assange accountable to what's within their rights too. Nice to see you sway with the wind there EFF.
Guess Biden can pick up the phone and tell them to let them hang out to dry because you know, the government has the right. Why, why bother contesting them, right?
I was the one thing. The one thing you had as a mission.

They obviously must have been on the fence about it during the summer and it tortured their conscience so much that this was just too much for them to bear and they no longer could believe in freedom of speech.
We'll probably hear them retracting support for Snowden soon. they're probably typing it up as we speak.

#8This seems like a completely reasonable response.

#9So the EFF is fine with a political party censoring their rivals as long as the work is outsourced to their corporate operatives.

#10Basically the EFF are more concerned they don‘t ban political accounts for stuff normal people get banned for. Seems fair.
