There will always be necessary improvements, so you may wish to allow amendments. Most people find things with a search engine rather than DNS, and I suspect that a successful democracy will, over time, have to do more than simply rely on any company’s judgment to “not be evil” or the outsider’s wherewithal to “compete” in the search market. The world’s Googles and Facebooks play too large a role in the progress of speech on the internet. I suppose from now on, as it evolves, the “progress and hinderance of speech” will cross into the domain of user interface design and information architecture, regardless of what those future systems (and ecosystems) may look like.

Of course today’s bigger problem is that civility, and respect for the rule of law, is on the decline. The U.S. federal government’s period of post-Watergate chastening and circumspectness is over; even Obama’s administration can’t put Bush’s genie back in the bottle. To confront the internet’s vandals, both principled and unprincipled, one wants a principled executive and judiciary, so that the result can leave everyone feeling that there was indeed justice, rather than mere retaliation. But America’s hollowed-out electorate is in no mood for law, or order. And solving that will require nothing less than a generation’s work of rebuilding a secular education system and re-creating an intellectual culture.
