At the moment things like youtube, twitter have become culture and 'technical solutions' to both unrestrained greed, surveillance and this rich fabric of human communication seem to miss the big picture of their cultural value.

The value of these platforms are not technical, they are entirely from the human element and everybody should be able to participate without opening themselves to surveillance and abuse.

Like everything else to run a civilized society we need laws and its unfortunate that this basic first principle of organizing human society needs to be reiterated and debated right untill 2019 because of propaganda by Koch brothers and their ilk on a self serving libertarianism which is as fantastic as a disneyland version of reality.
