EFF seems to be mostly correct here. This does seem to be a step towards less arbitrary corporate censorship masquerading as responsibility, and more transparency. I'm willing to have my mind changed, but really nothing seems to be set on fire here.

It is slightly weird that they're dancing between applauding “fixing over-censorship” to allow more political speech, and then adding this note about “concerning” changes in the Hateful Conduct policy, where bulk of the changes seem to be about just that: allowing more political speech (particularly and explicitly in the area of sex and gender). EFF does not specify what they mean by this concern, though, and I could also point to a few specific places in the revised policy where I think the line around insulting language is set in a wrong place, so I'm not really passing judgement on that.

And it's not like I agree with EFF on everything. They just seem to be mostly correct in this instance.
