ACLU Counsel's actual statement was equivocal af. They aren't the standard bearer on this issue. They just aren't.

Yes that's right. There are 5 things they ask Biden for on the ACLU website for speech, privacy and technology. Moderation policy is not on the list. I think this article needs to understood in the scope of the ACLU overall priorities.

Ban the federal use of, and funding for, facial recognition technology

Support the introduction and passage of federal comprehensive consumer privacy legislation

Expand access to broadband internet access services

Restore net neutrality rules

Reinstate broadband privacy rules
