Re: [44net] An apology for the Internet from the people who built it

Yeah, when I saw the title of the article, I was expecting to see Vint Cerf apologizing for not making encryption mandatory in TCP/IP, not Jaron whoever on virtual reality.

Gee, I don't remember any of those names back in the early 80s (except for Stallman, but Emacs is not the Internet). Isn't it just like the self-involved social media people to apologize for building something they didn't build? Let them apologize for their own silly apps, including the intrusion into people's privacy, the Orwellian control and censorship of opinions and points of view, and the wasteland of trash they have become. But the Internet itself and the people who built it have nothing to apologize for. The incredible research, legitimate commerce, and critical communications it enables is like nothing the world has ever seen!
