Thanks. I read it this morning, as I am interested, and my opinion hasn't really changed to be honest. It appears to be a reaction to covid response/the capitol riot and they have identified the dissemination of information online as the problem and some form of "stewardship" is the solution. I disagree with this assessment as I believe the actual problem is people's material conditions and information flow online is just a conduit, not a cause. The whole thing strikes me as good-intentioned authoritarianism
