The web does not need gatekeepers: Cloudflare’s new “signed agents” pitch (positiveblue.substack.com)

Why is that? Shouldn't we, as a democratic society, be able to decide whether we want to adopt any technology, especially one as destructive as AI? (h/t to Neal Stephenson and his Seveneves, where he explores this topic under the moniker 'Amistics').
