The ACLU would work pretty hard to protect your right to maintain anonymity for the comment you just made.

Nice to see you chose anonymity, but you will side with the people who will work to identify you.

Actually, the biggest defenders of the internet culture in courts have always been ISPs, with EFF, ACLU, and universities occasionally giving support and occasionally snubbing them. ISPs and/or websites themselves tend to bear many of the costs of defence of free, anonymous speech online.

They also rarely champion rights they aren't interested in, such as the consumer protection issues this blog focuses on. If the ACLU actually cared as much about defending against big business as big brother, we might not have so many anti-consumer laws bought and flagrant violations of others.
