Snap! I’m working on a 4-parter on STBL, but I’m coming at this from a different angle.

His ‘fears’ are that the ills of the web are somehow curable or at least avoidable from a technological standpoint, which I disagree with.

The internet is a reflection of our society,.. If we do not like what we see in that mirror the problem is not to fix the mirror, we have to fix society.
~ Vint Cerf

The web is now a social creature, staying out all night, getting drunk and turning up late for work like the rest of us.

That’s a social problem, not a technological one…
