"I want an open web!"
"Okay, that means AI companies can train on your content."
"Well, actually, we need some protections..."
"So you want a closed web with access controls?"
"No no no, I support openness! Can't we just have, like, ethical openness? Where everyone respects boundaries but there's no enforcement mechanism? Why are you making this so black and white?"
> “When we started the “free speech movement,” we had a bold new vision. No longer would dissenters’ views be silenced. With the government out of the business of policing the content of speech, robust debate and the marketplace of ideas would lead us toward truth and enlightenment. But it turned out that freedom of the press meant freedom for those who owned one. The wealthy and powerful dominated the channels of speech. The privileged had a megaphone and used free speech protections to immunize their own complacent or even hateful speech. Clearly, the time has come to denounce the naïve idealism of the past and offer a new movement, Speech 2.0, which will pay more attention to the political economy of media and aim at “free-ish” speech — the good stuff without the bad.”

See how stupid that sounds?
