…modern states are a mixed blessing, and when they are repressive, digital state sovereignty acts in •opposition to• digital self-determination. Some form of “cyberlibertarianism” is welcome in countering repressive regimes. But (to the piece’s point) the very digital ungovernability that serves that goal has also enabled monopoly formation and corporate unaccountability.
Not sure the better vision is in focus. I do agree that we tech folk need to do some rethinking of values.
