- drewbeck 2y agoThe ACLU tends to take pretty hard line civil liberty positions, including defending hateful folks if their civil liberties are impinged. They’re not strictly a progressive organization.
- ImJamal 2y agoThey don't really hold hard-line positions anymore. The ACLU would no longer defend the speech of a neo-nazi, for example.
- drooby 2y agoWhat does the ACLU not understand.. The law does not ban TikTok.. it requires divestment from a foreign adversary.. Said foreign adversary refuses to divest, thus the company is shutting itself down
