Yeah, freedom of the press was fine when only a few rich people could afford their own printing press, but now that everyone has internet, we really need to do something about that. These stupid peasants ruin everything.

I really don’t think software will ever be successfully restricted by the government, but the hardware that is behind it might end up with some form of firmware-based lockout technology that limits AI capabilities to approved models providing a certificate signed by the hardware maker (after vetting the submission for legally-mandated safety or anti-abuse features).

Exactly! All computers must be bugged and surveilled 24/7. Telescreens in every room must be 2-way. That is the lesson of George Orwell's 1984.
