I posit that even the utopian futures will require something like it to preserve the utopias. Defensive Democracy will eventually see it as a necessary evil. The questions become: when? where first and where last? etc.

The most extreme example is: whenever anyone runs for government, their opponents go through all their history trying to find something, anything, that can be used to smear them loudly and publicly. So the only viable candidates are the ones with no social media presence whatsoever. Which, of course, makes them so totally disconnected from what people are doing.
(Well, if there’s anything we learned from Trump, it’s that the opposite can also be true. So perhaps it’s changing.)
