Funny analogy, here's another one: Prison door malfunctions and lets prisoners free. Prisoners step out in the sun to find themselves confused in a never ending maze full of branches in all directions. They have difficulties finding shelter and food. They walk back to their well understood confines, in relief. The door doesn't lock, but they choose to stay either way. |

Assuming you are not a prison operator this smacks of complacency.
In the digital age where rules are there to be broken fast, any and all complacency will be used against you (us).
The era of web 2.0 social media, damaging as it was, is drawing towards a close.
The next phase will be an ever tighter "embrace", with airtight control of digital identity, access to financial transactions and unprecedented AI manipulation. Of-course the inmates will enjoy Cloud Atlas type amenities.
Freedom was never easy and is not an exportable good either. It is either in your real constitution or not. I just hope that there is a critical mass of countries that actually mean it.
