It is not clear to me if democracy can survive a deregulated Internet. A deregulated Internet filled with LLMs that can perfectly impersonate human beings powered by unregulated corporations with zero ethical guidelines seems like a somewhat obvious problem.

Nah, no thanks. The idea that we have to allow government control of online spaces in order to a make them safer, rather than just government-ideology-aligned, is an insane thing to be believing in 2026.

Yeah, let's have Trump's FCC decide what is acceptable speech and what's dangerous. Decide the ethical code that provides "sufficient justification to unleash it on the world". I'm sure it won't be "is it enriching conservatives or promoting our ideology?".

Great plan.
