How the web lost its way – and its founding principles

This is silly hit-piece journalism. Of course the internet has changed... I'm surprised he expected conformity to his ideology as it opened up to everyone and everyone else's ideologies. There is no "right" or "wrong" way the internet can exist, its an evolving communication paradigm.

Expecting everyone to go along with his philosophies of using the web without any enforcement of that is like a high-schooler's attitude towards communism. Social paradigms evolve and adapt as needed. The internet, and its users, are going to be just fine.
