This is an interesting, if limited, read - a short historic recap. It does not propose any solutions or even look at the problem in a compelling way. The author just assumes that policy (aka government) is where any potential solution lies. That's not the lesson history teaches. History teaches that government "solutions" always break something else. 

A solution is much more likely to emerge from efforts by the People to build counter-systems which enable self-custody of data, identity, commerce and communication.

Oh, wait... #Bitcoin, Lightning, #eCash, #nostr. Yeah, that's the ticket...
