US and EU are both racing to implement an array of anti-freedom, authoritarian internet bills. What stable nation-state are you willing to fully entrust indefinitely with regulation of what you do online?

I do think the transmission infrastructure of the internet should be publicly funded and owned, but not what happens on the wires.
