We're far from being in a perfect place, but we're in a relatively good place compared to the rest of history. Reinstituting modernized versions of monarchs and clerics who tell us what we're allowed to know and to think. I neither want Facebook and a few corporations to declare themselves the gatekeeper of morality and acceptable thought nor do I want the oppressive regimes and dictators use freedom of expression against us by flooding us with misinformation and lies. But forking over control to a group of tech figures like Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Bezos, or Pichai cannot be the answer to the threat of Putin and Xi Jinping.
