In addition to being a Grateful Dead lyricist, John Perry Barlow was also an internet pioneer, and founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a defender of digital rights. From their About page:

"The Electronic Frontier Foundation is the leading nonprofit organization defending civil liberties in the digital world. Founded in 1990, EFF champions user privacy, free expression, and innovation through impact litigation, policy analysis, grassroots activism, and technology development. We work to ensure that rights and freedoms are enhanced and protected as our use of technology grows."

The theme of a book titled Microcosm. The fact that the greatest weapon against tyranny and for freedom is the internet with its unfiltered freedom of access and with a global presence to insure that tyranny cannot hide from the world behind closed borders.

We will look back on the election of DJT as a great moment in history, especially by escaping the entrapment of net neutrality (censorship). Notice how the demonstrations in Iraq have died/lost stream once the protesters were ‘net neutraled’ by their government?

So the Question becomes...

What was the Electronic Frontier Foundation doing that irritated the deep state....?
