We are the tech class and are therefore de facto gatekeep gatekeepers to the actual technology. It's therefore on us to not be reactionary to these moral panics, but instead try to rise above and lead by example. Either way, it's up to us to retain the power, use it how we see fit, or give it up. We have a small and short-lived window of opportunity before regulatory capture sets in. Which future will we choose?
