I actually agree with you that it's just a different political opinion, and I had meant to convey it in a neutral way here. Both Mr. Harai and many nationalists seem to agree that the decentralization of power is important, but they disagree on how best to accomplish it. I also agree that centralized power is a growing threat, and I think that if we want to make progress in reducing potential harms, we should focus on effective solutions together. Personally, I'm skeptical that centralized regulation is a long-term solution, and I think that we need more free and open source hardware and software or at least trustworthy technology that can be independently audited to verify that it protects the interests for individual owners rather than serving at the pleasure of someone else. I think most major technology companies, regardless of current policies, acknowledge that there is an increasing need for accountability and that people are beginning to distrust technology monetized by harvesting data and directing behavior.
