  \heading{Summary}

  % Santa Claus knows it all, and will reward authority-approved
  % behavior.  Grown-ups take other social control myths for granted.
  % Enter the World-Wide Web, and the propaganda machines behind them
  % lose their local monopolies.  Now, in the globalized competition for
  % hearts (brains might tell fake from fact), they wish to censor fake
  % news, the post-truth label for both competing propaganda and
  % concealed truth.  Such censorship will not stop at social(-control)
  % media: (centralized) web searches are already censored and otherwise
  % distorted, and even (proprietary) software assistants, running on
  % our own mobile computers, may end up assisting not us, but the
  % censors that control their software and, by concealing the present
  % from us, our future.  To make intelligent decisions, we need truth,
  % and to get it we will need not just education for critical thinking,
  % decentralized social media and a neutral network, but also software
  % freedom on our own communication and computing devices.

  % Santa Claus has long been used by parental authorities for social
  % control: an entity that sees and knows all about everyone, and that
  % rewards sanctioned behavior with gifts, serves as both stick and
  % carrot to children who have faith in the myth.  Alas, even grown-ups
  % will place too much faith in (Internet-based) surveillance entities,
  % and fall for various forms of social control myths and propaganda.
  % Centralized media and the elite behind it, not used to having their
  % own fake news disputed, denounce their adversaries in the reality
  % distortion fields, and the ensuing propaganda wars mark the
  % beginning of the post-truth era: facts and truth have always been
  % irrelevant for propaganda, but now that free speech can go viral
  % instantly, they became a dangerous enemy.  Thus, concerted efforts
  % sprang, in centralized social (control) media, to censor whatever is
  % labeled (by whom?) as fake news.  That might spare us time and
  % effort we would otherwise spend cross-checking disparate information
  % sources, and give us some ignorant bliss, but not the truth we need
  % to make intelligent decisions.  And censorship will not stop at
  % social (control) media: (centralized) web searches are already
  % censored and otherwise distorted, and even (proprietary) virtual
  % assistants, running on our own smart mobile computers, may end up
  % assisting the censors that control them, rather than us, blocking us
  % from learning and sharing the present they wish to conceal to
  % control the future.  Truth needs us to fight not just for
  % decentralized social media and a neutral network, but for software
  % freedom on our own communication and computing devices.
