He's dead on except it's not just FB it's also western governments who not only don't interfere (as he points out) but have given up on championing freedom and now go in the exact opposite direction. When it comes to damage control its the latter we have to influence because it's the governments who want to take away what's left of the decentralized web. Maybe a decade ago or so everyone in the western sphere was mad concerning how China, North Korea et al. control their citizen online. But now there is this international trend of slowly but surely limiting the usefulnesses of the free Internet by pretending to fight some form of illegal activity. They're after encryption (to "fight terrorism"), they are after free speech (to "stop hate"), they block websites ("just" to fight child pornography) and so on.
