The problem with the EFF's reasoning here is that these very same ISPs and other sorts of people have ALWAYS been attacking and taking down and banning marginalized people's content for spurious reasons - time and time again. The real world is ALREADY shit for marginalized people - there's no slippery slope to fall down, we're ALREADY down the slippery slope.
I've had this beef with the fucking neoliberals in the EFF and ACLU for decades - they seem to think riding to the defense of right wing hate groups protects marginalized people ... but then crickets when sex workers are banned from the financial system. Or when trans people are harassed, swatted, and doxxed off the internet by organized gangs of bigoted thugs.
There's NEVER a right time to ride to the defense of Nazis. EVER!
