But they said, in not so many words, that if the platforms are going to hold normal users to a standard, they should hold public figures to an equal (or IMO, greater) standard instead of letting them have more privileges. I don’t really see a problem with that, except for how deadpan the delivery is.

They don’t because pandering pays the bills. But if pandering doesn’t bother you, there are more lucrative forms and you can just do away with the pretense and get to the pandering.

You seem to be taking the stance that they're a left leaning organization, but criticizing them for framing their point of view in politically neutral terms.

What if the apparent political leanings of their thinking is a second order effect of the EFF's goal and not the root cause?
