It's disappointing that the EFF is getting into partisan politics instead of staying out of it. Trump sucks and I'm not defending him, but it's really tiresome when people quote him and infer meaning that he super obviously did not mean. His quote:
> And I’m going to use that bill for myself too if you don’t mind, because nobody gets treated worse than I do online, nobody.
to which the EFF writes:
> Trump when he says he would use the Take It Down Act simply because he's "treated badly,"
It is such a massive stretch to interpret his words this way. Trump is clearly talking about fake/doctored/AI footage of himself. Trump is not going to try to use this bill to make people stop saying mean things about him on twitter.
Can we please hold people accountable for the real, problematic, hateful things they do, instead of inventing stuff that isn't real? It really damages the credibility of a group when they do this.
This is the "fine people on both sides" all over again - a quote where Trump literally said in the NEXT SENTENCE: "And I don't mean nazis and white supremacists", and everyone clipped out that part and hyperbolized to "trump literally said nazis are fine people" when it's the opposite of what he said
