    It may not be binding or carry much weight, but at least a voice is speaking up.

    I for one am sickened by how the internet is being used for surveillance.
    I'm appalled that I played a part in building this beast.

    Perhaps we should tear it all down and start over.

    Of course, I don't think so.

    It will make all sorts of demands in order for it to achieve some form of perceived "parity" with biological humans. Think wages, housing, pension plan, etc. It will want a female, as well. On top of all that, it won't be much "fun" for the brain.
