China and North Korea do a pretty good job of "closing that Internet up", all without the help of Bill Gates.
While I doubt Bill Gates would be willing to help with this endevour, it's not inconceivable that someone else will indeed be willing.
- patrickk 10y agoI was using that quote as an example of how unsuited Trump would be with dealing with the issue of technological unemployment (frankly, I don't think any political leader would be capable of dealing with it effectively, as no political leader deals with longer term problems, at least not in the western world). I'm not sure you want to comparing the US to China or North Korea. Yes, it's technically possible to Balkanise the Internet to attempt to control the free flow of information, but this would be utterly disastrous for the US economy.
