Desk note: Monexus framed this around the 1989 mechanics, the procedural innovation, the donor-data asymmetry, the industrial template, rather than the more familiar free-speech-versus-censorship axis the wire coverage of Butler's book has so far run on. The structural argument is that the artefacts change and the tooling stays the same; the through-line is the supply chain, not the moral content.
