  For instance, designs that celebrate the noosphere tend to energize the inner troll, or bad actor, within humans.

• There's a fundamental difference between people who want to see the Internet and say - 'Let's lobotomize and censor parts of it because we need to control it' -  and those like us who see the Internet as a method of growing the economy and innovating in front of the world. And we have to actually reconcile those two positions. And we believe that it is much better to protect this crown jewel of civilization, which is the ability for us to communicate and express our ideas freely, than to try to lobotomize it.

Otherwise, it can be death, the bullet, poison, or trial -whatever our special services, Putin's guard dogs, see fit.
