> changed from neutral rights-focused activism into questionable political activism.

What exactly are “neutral rights”? Every right is political, and none of them are neutral, you’ll always find someone who supports them and someone who opposes them. Remember when Nestlé’s CEO said that calling water a human right was an “extreme” opinion? And there used to be a time when people claimed owning slaves was their right.

What you are calling “questionable” right now is just something you don’t agree with. I have a feeling history will support EFF’s position over yours.

> Would EFF be leaving X if Elon had not taken over?

That’s like asking “would activists fight for your rights if no one was violating them”. I mean, no, but that doesn’t say anything. Had Twitter not have been sold but they eventually did the same things Elon did, then the EFF would probably have left just the same. Had Elon taken over but not done what he did, they probably wouldn’t have. The EFF is not on a personal vendetta, this is about the service as it is right now.

>What exactly are “neutral rights”?

Rights that apply to people even if you disagree with them, like free speech. Something both the left and the right seem to hate.
