The promise of the Internet has always been that it was gonna be this unprecedentedly potent instrument of liberation and democratization. That it would empower people to band together to work against oppression.

And what has happened instead is that we face the threat that it's the exact oppositeâthat instead the Internet could become the most potent and odious tool of human control and oppression in human history.
