What I know of the communities in the article leads me to believe that there isn't much overlap between them and the crowd that supports the EFF and Tor. Gab is an interesting study in and of itself. I have an account there and really wanted it to succeed - I even advocated on their behalf across the diverse range of communities in which I participate when they launched a set of more advanced content filtering capabilities than Twitter. Sadly, they seemed to have been quickly branded as "alt-Right" when Milo was banned from Twitter, and I've since given up trying to attract more diversity of opinion to the platform. I don't think I've logged on there more than once in the past year or so.
