   At its inception, the digital rights movement was mocked for its foolish   
   obsession with the sideshow of online trivialities, the delusion that   
   the rules governing a bunch of Star Trek message boards had some   
   connection with the urgent, innately physical world of human rights.   
      
   Fast-forward 30 years and the same people are being mocked as Pollyannas   
   who only saw tech as a force for good and failed to warn us of the risk   
   of impending technological dystopia.
