    The article is by Mike Masnick, founder of Techdirt. To wit:

    Jul 29, 2023Mike Masnick, who founded Techdirt in 1998, writes for an influential audience of lawmakers, C.E.O.s and activists. Somehow, he’s still an optimist about the promise of technology.

    Well if he’s got the ear of influential muckety-mucks what is he telling them? Who is his Senator? Also, not to nitpick but he doesn’t actually sound optimistic.

    Ooh he’s credited with coining “the Streisand effect” so that’s cool.
