I think the question is really why did it take this long for the EFF to chime in? Perhaps they did and nobody cared enough for things to change, or maybe didn't feel like it was worth the effort. Maybe they see an opportunity to take advantage of the moment.

> why did it take this long for the EFF to chime in?

"EFF collaborated with organizations from around the world to create the Santa Clara Principles, which lay out a framework for how companies should operate with respect to transparency and accountability in content moderation decisions. Twitter publicly supported the first version of the Santa Clara Principles in its 2019 transparency report."

Thanks, I knew I was missing something because there's no way all this e-drama was ignored by them (us? can I say us?) until now.
twitter publicly supported it but never reflected in its actual behaviour
