Pervasive monitoring, censorship, state sponsored disinformation and hacking also make a more hostile internet.

I think that we are legitimately at a point where people should just go into things assuming they are hostile and/or unsafe. I love EFF, but I think they operate under the assumption that bad actors are exceptions to the rule, which is pretty naïve in 2022.

Why is this a naive assumption and why would things be any different in the current year? Are living organisms not inherently self-interested? Why are human beings special and not just another kind of animal vying for territory and resources?
