No, meaning, if they argued in favor of Parler, they'd have lost my support.

My principles don't include "force tech companies to host content for terrorists trying to violently overthrow a democracy".

(ACLU, on the other hand, I expect to take the free-speech-absolutist stance...)

The implication being that everything the EFF has done against corporate control of the internet is only good as long as their criticism doesn't extend to corporate censorship?

I hope I'm misinterpreting this.
