They're still pretty pozzed but at least they realize it's wrong for ISPs to censor

Man for all seasons is a disturbingly relevant piece of theatre down to specific interactions, I think of the 'you threaten like a dockside bully' bit basically every time i see some fat tranny in a position of power lording it over someone that won't call their horrific axewound a beautiful neovagina.
But hey, we can all only hope to die with half as good banter on the record as More- "I die the King's good servant, but God's first" is undoubtedly the greatest mortem roast imaginable.

I don't doubt it happens but I have yet to see any of these 'X social media was used to organize Y dangerous activity' claims proven with actual, public posts (or even DMs) that were used to coordinate said activities.
And no, journos, some random old geezer on Gab or Parler saying that we should nuke Congress does not count as coordinating a riot.

Its a fair point, right wing sites are pretty bad at keeping free speech because its from the get go an echochamber, but implying that porn isn't somehow disgusting and worthy of censorship is straight up retarded. Journos will write about a bajillion articles about how social media nazis our killing our generation but refuse to talk about how porn usage has fucked up everything about sex.

I fully agree. Except it should be extended to the entire Internet. No communication should be allowed unless it is about the proletarian struggle to release CHRISTIAN WESTON CHANDLER from his vile durance and wage war on this EVIL SOCIETY.
Do you support the mighty Chris-Chan? Or are you a demon?
Think about that, because we're coming to get you kids with your pumped-up kicks.

The King without clothes. Which is a horrifying thought in itself.
I wonder if the EPF saw the recent campaigns by No Dong and his dumb puppet Keffals as a sign to stop this. More likely they saw WHO exactly was waging these campaigns and now try to put a lid on it. After all these faggots are not exacxtly the harbinger of moral and if they can do it who is stop stop Nazi's and other scum to do exactly the same?
Also never forget the Biden Admin had a ministry of truth for a few weeks before they disbanded it again. Never ever think they won't bring it back in another form.

It's just pedophiles trying to control the social narrative in an attempt to perpetuate their existence. They're next in line after trannies for a "civil rights campaign," or perhaps more accurately, beside them in line. It's disturbing how much success they've had in that area, though.

When you have friends in the right places you can do a lot. Just look at the documents Musk publicized: both sides had a conduit to Twitter but it was so heavily tilted to the left they got their wishes fulfilled.

The thing is, though, the EFF is so financially outgunned by the people they are wagging their finger at, I doubt they would be able to stem the tide of censorship and how the internet has turned into the Corpronet. This is because the institutions that they are calling out have massive pools of financial resources to tilt any challenge or legal battle in their favor, often by sheer attrition.
Although the EFF largely seems to have good intentions, the companies that have taken over the internet are just going to flip them the bird and ask "Well, what the fuck are you guys going to do about it?!" and go back to making the internet as sanitized as daytime cable television.

I looked into those just now. Good read. I wish I could say I'm surprised, but those types of shenanigans are typical of Big Tech.

I have no doubts that this is true especially since EFF is merely a nonprofit advocate group. Forgive me if this was talked about somewhere but back when the new setup was deployed many ISPs began blackholing the site, it was suddenly reversed seemingly after people from here started opening tickets. I wonder why they reversed the decision as you say they could probably win any legal battle. My only guesses are they actually do fear legislation in some capacity or the people up top realized censoring for a consent accident enjoyer is retarded. Both scenarios seem a little optimistic so I have a feeling the reason might be somewhere in the middle something else entirely.

Maybe it's a bit too soon, especially given that this announcement was dropped late on a Friday... but I tried doing a search to see if any tech-related news sites have reported on the EFF's Protect The Stack campaign. I came back empty-handed.
Somehow I don't think this will change much over the coming days or weeks.

Something I think most of us should find heartening is how much the Social Media landscape is changing, and slowly, shifting away from the paradigms that formed the majority of the problems we have now. Reddit remains a shithole, but Twitter's buyout by Elon Musk has effectively nixed one of the largest pressuring tools our enemies have. Facebook has lost nearly a Trillion dollars this year and is increasingly shedding staff, and while Google's been staffed by true believers, it's also taken it in the ass economically.
The ecosystem the EFF is deploying its Protect the Stack campaign onto isn't the one from 2020, from last year, or even six months ago. I can remember when a good chunk of this site was doomposting about Musk not actually going to buy Twitter, and how the usual suspects were going to own the discourse forever. Times change. Paradigms change, and as the old saying goes, no king lives forever. The EFF has been around for decades and understands this. We may not like the fact the stances they take, but they are willing to show principle in the face of people who demand they abandon that principle for expedience, and that's some fortitude above what we tend to see on the modern Internet.
The Internet landscape as we know it is changing, and the troons - at this point the most minor of vocal minorities, who corrode every community they come into contact with, and actively damage the Internet as we know it, are slowly losing their footholds in this landscape. Endurance and cohesion has never been their main weapon; it's been their ability to backchannel and get what they want through blatant nepotism, abuse the system in ways they don't face ramifications for, or be useful idiots for the front of greater evils. But they inevitably destroy their own communities, and the wider Internet does not want them (watch what happened after the fall of NeoGAF or the Twitter buyout as they found that the wider Internet fucking hated their guts).
They've been able to control paradigms for years, and I daresay, while we may be a long way off from it, we are seeing a shift in the winds, one that might ultimately blow our way for a change. It's the nature of people on this site, after being hurt so many times by the broader world we inhabit, to brace against the storm and see the worst in things, but the last few years have given me ample reasons to be hopeful even in the face of that, and we'll face it together, shitposting and making dank memes all the while.
