Unfortunately I have found it to be one of the highest concentrations of higher-IQ discussions on the Internet wrt broad ranges of topics, at least historically.

Very misleading writing style IMO. I would say most of their bullet points ARE actually true in most cases... they just keep bringing up somewhat rare/exotic exceptions as a way to call it a "falsehood".
Even if Section 230 didn't require providers to terminate the user's service, providers further upstream could technically punish that ISP for breaking their own ToS depending on what it is.
People like Liz Fong-Jones and Keffals have successfully lobbied multiple Tier 1 ISPs to blackhole websites that have posted information about them that they didn't like based on this fact, behavior which the EFF has specifically called out as a threat to the free and open Internet. Even the CEO of Cloudflare has openly admitted to being personally involved in blocking sites without a really good reason.
Care to explain?
I think you're incorrectly assuming that everyone knows they all do it. I see nothing wrong with raising awareness.
What would you have preferred? "Most apps sell your data, news at 11"? Would anyone care if it was written like that?
Thanks. You're not wrong, and I appreciate the well-written response. Some might say you are defending/advocating proprietary software with this stance, but I don't think there is a clear answer either way that applies to every circumstance.
Start sending them faked messages.
This article is about the app, which does not run the model locally. Why would you doubt that a Chinese app which openly claims they send your data to China, actually does so?
Yikes. Thanks for the info.
Details like the fact that people can have differing opinions and perspectives, and should not speak in absolutes?
