The fact that it has generated debate suggests that any attempt at Internet access control will be micro-examined end to end. Even if rationality and human decency fail to prevail, I trust that bureaucracy will slow things down well enough.

The fact that we have to rely on the nature of bureaucracy scares me. It shows that rationality and human decency are failing.

I do not believe that current attempts to control internet access and content are being micro-examined end to end.

Not to sound too defeatist, but over the course of human history, when have rationality and human decency ever succeeded?
Regardless, there is no reason we shouldn't continue to help them succeed (by being rational and decent).
Civil rights movement?
