"The world has problems that are much more urgent than internet policy:
climate change, inequality, issues of race, gender and gender identity,
and more. The internet is less important than all of these battles! But
the internet is where we will have these battles – it’s the terrain on
which we fight. It’s not what we fight FOR, but it’s what we fight WITH.
That is why it’s crucial to keep the internet free, fair and open, and
to claw back the reversals we’ve faced on all three of these fronts. As
the internet permeates more and more fields of endeavour, more and more
power blocs see some advantage in selectively breaking the internet to
make their jobs easier. Whether it’s copyright, national security, law
enforcement, or policing hate speech, there’s an ever-expanding
constellation of people who are indifferent to the impact on all the
other uses of the internet and myopically focused on solving the
problems the internet creates in their parochial corner of the world."
