>Lessig cautions against the commercialization of code, which he believes will lead to the privatization of law and increased governmental control. In response, Lessig proposes that we subject private entities to increased constitutional controls. He also argues in favor of open-source code which, like the laws governing the natural world, can be examined by everyone. I think I understand his point? If we add regulation in the open, it is less likely that the government will privately exercise control over the internet by forming relationships with companies. This can be seen in the Twitter files, where we saw that the government had a private relationship with social media companies, and was using it to shut down and "investigate" people with problematic speech. I don't think I really agree, but I can see how it connects to reality at least.
