As much as I agree that what we currently have at the head of most big tech companies may be ill-equipped to handle the current task at hand regarding the political minefield that big tech has stepped into, I really believe that they are, simultaneously, probably the best-equipped people that can be found.

I mean, to say they are not the right people for the job is one thing. I'm saying that there probably _isn't_ a right person for the job of internet censorship. What we need is to increase education regarding critical thinking so people don't take literally everything they read on the internet at face value.

That requires some education in history, political science, philosophy, etc.

I doubt that we'll ever have a New Internet Citizen; we have to presume current levels of cupidity/ignorance.
