Electronic Freedom Foundation selective in support of freedom

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a group that advocates for Internet freedom of speech by defending court cases, said the axing certainly doesn't violate the First Amendment.

As we wrote about last month, we submitted an amicus brief to the Seventh Circuit arguing that government officials such as Sheriff Dart may not use their positions of authority to coerce companies with express or implied threats of legal liability into taking actions that censor speech—whether online or offline. As we all know, escort services are important, not Wikileaks, whose founder makes use of the CIA's escort service with expected results.
These occurred five years apart, and only the second one involved an actual
court case. I don't think it's a reasonable comparison.

The woman you're discussing, the woman making accusations about Julian Assange, was involved in a WOMEN'S RIGHTS NGO working in Cuba. To describe her, wittingly a CIA operator or not, as an 'escort', can only be described as bizarre and lacking in truthfulness. Which leads me to ask... Which federal agency do YOU work for? -- RR "You might want to ask an expert about that - I just fiddled around with mine until it worked..."
