Hmm ...

... Wiki Rehab. (Hat tip, Lee Lowe.)

... the Internet is heavily dominated by for-profit companies ... this situation, while theoretically problematic, was something that most geeks accepted as some kind of necessary evil inherent to capitalism. ... Those trying to re-imagine the Internet in the wake of the Cablegate controversy have no choice but to work with a select few social media giants ... The only way to do this would be to add an explicit political dimension to their work ...

So: We object to the social media giants ... only to partner with a select few. And as for that "explicit political dimension" -- well, politics in a free society is never a settled matter. So what exactly are we talking about? Sounds to me like what this guy wants is for "a select few social media giants" to enforce his political preferences and predilections. Include me out.
