    I hope we can elect politicians who don’t hate the Internet at some point, so that we don’t have to hope it will be unenforceable.

    I’ve been a very regular user of the Internet for more than 20 years, and 20 years ago I thought that surely in 20 years, the Internet will have become established and governments will no longer be trying to attack it, instead we will be living in a utopia of free international communication. That has turned out to be false. :(
