this isnt even about the tech. He just doesn't want free speech/unrestricted speech because he's afraid others who don't share his views might be convincing in their argument. People like him are exactly the reason these technologies are so important. He hasen't lived in counties where they shutdown the internet on will to prevent people from getting information, or outright jailed people for saying anything negative about the patriarch on the internet.
- vmception 6y agoI think there is merit to his argument in the sense that we don’t know what will happen. We didn't anticipate any schmuck having a global platform and their fellow schmucks being able to vote. Seriously, our founding fathers did not anticipate this when only literate land owners could vote, and our ideology is based on that. It is accurate that we don't have a society that factors in the ramifications of that either, only our brainwashing of the free speech ideology. His conclusion may not be the accurate one, but we can acknowledge that neither extreme of restricted speech or completely hands off of technology is the answer for our future.
