If you find the people involved objectionable, reverse the political positions and groups. Freedoms are won more often than not fighting for people you don’t like. Groups that fight for liberty like the EFF and ACLU know that all too well.

It’s worth remembering this is not something new, it’s just something becoming more and more acceptable over time and it’s quite a solemn reminder of how FOSS isn’t just a cool OS or a useful app. It empowers people to enforce being treated reasonably.
