How many of the people praising permissionless innovation are also condemning Facebook/Twitter/Google for allowing their platforms to be used for political purposes? If that's you, you're being inconsistent because permissionless innovation is exactly how those companies got into that pickle. Sometimes innovation has dangers or negative consequences. It's not always unreasonable to have a "review cycle" where those can be recognized, measured, and possibly ameliorated (or at least accounted for) before too much harm is done. There should be a tendency toward permissionless innovation, but just saying anyone should be allowed to run any experiment they want on their neighbors is taking it too far.
