Thank you for asking. I'm not asking you to delete anything; just refrain from feeding that monster with any content that can be traced back to me. ...it's all I ask.

If this is a teachable moment, I recomment Eben Moglen's talk Innovation Under Austerity. It's on Youtube but here's the transcript:

https://www.softwarefreedom.org/even...note-2012.html

I used to watch it every six months after 2012. It's 87 minutes long but he's an excellent public speaker and the transcript loses the pacing. Pacing is important for persuasion.

Here's a WaPo article that distills it down to: Eben Moglen on innovation under austerity and ‘a little thug in a hooded sweatshirt’
