ACLU had long defended speech they hate: https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/aclus-longstanding-commitment-defending-speech-we-hate https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/aclus-longstanding-com... There is some weird playing the victim card here as social networks try and clean pure play disinformation campaigns on their networks. Nothing is perfect and there will be missed but there is clearly a intent towards reality rather than lies. It's kind of the point of the lies and subjugation that cast this as a liberal conspiracy where its just a matter of not getting it right 100% of the time ( which is not possible )

Indeed, ACLU has long done so - this is why I said "even ACLU". But this particular article is misleading - they certainly did change their take on free speech after post-Charlottesville criticism from the left. It kinda dodges the issue by saying, "well, there are conflicts between rights sometimes, so we just issued a guidance on how to resolve them" - but the point is that the guidance is different from ACLU's past consistent stance.
