      They’re awesome, but I feel like it’ll go the way of the ACLU eventually.

      Like nowadays on Reddit you see a lot of support for all the bureaucratic regulation like the AI act, Cybersecurity act, etc. empowering Big Tech monopolies and Big Government control over start-ups and tinkerers.

            In 2021, the ACLU responded to the criticisms by denying that they are reducing their support for unpopular First Amendment causes and listing 27 cases from 2017 to 2021 where the ACLU supported a party holding an unpopular or repugnant viewpoint. The cases included one which challenged college restrictions on hate speech; a case defending a Catholic school’s right to discriminate in hiring; and a case that defended antisemitic protesters who marched outside a synagogue.
