He gets to make laws, that's not something you _need_ either. Aside from mocking the, oh-you-could-just-do-without tone, I think we should talk about what we want the future of the internet to be like, and how it could fit into our lives. If we want it to be a tool for rural poor to lift themselves up by their bootstraps because there's no other way they'd have access to world-class educational material, we need it to be a place where people aren't being extorted, frightened, or humiliated. And honestly, if browsing history is up for grabs, that's what we need to be worried about. No normal human understands the difference between selling that data and humiliating someone for money, because there _is_ no difference.
