We applaud Meta’s efforts to try to fix its over-censorship problem but will watch closely to make sure it is a good-faith effort and rolled out fairly and not merely a political maneuver to accommodate the upcoming U.S. administration change. eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/eff-…

EFF Statement on Meta's Announcement of Revisions to Its Content Moderation Processes

In general, EFF supports moves that bring more freedom of expression and transparency to platforms—regardless of their political motivation.

@silverwizard @mekeor I sympathise with libertarianism, but if there is any organisation in the world that should understand that moderation matters, it's Facebook. And the EFF, while defending people's rights to be wrong, antagonistic, arseholish, and offensive online, should realise that this does not override the right to remain alive offline.

This is the boy king saying "some of you will die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make"
