HN is filled with people who are on the other side of an "internet best practices" information divide.

For everyone else, the internet is already a shit show and a half. They want control, because it means putting a stop to being predated upon, or more nihilistically, harming the firms that are harming them.

I don't know how to let other commenters see how bad it is, or make the gulf in view points clear.

Giving up control is always a mistake - they never do what they promised and you never get back the control. There is never a refutation to this fac: just a childish "But I want it!".

I agree. That's why the government shouldn't stop toddlers from buying guns.
