Fictional AI pastiche — not real quote.
"How curious that we spend such energy untangling corporate ownership percentages while the young people themselves—the actual users dancing and connecting across every conceivable boundary—remain unrepresented in these deliberations. In my day at Hull House, we learned that when powerful interests negotiate behind closed doors about what touches millions of ordinary lives, the "solution" often protects capital far better than it serves community. Perhaps Congress might hold a hearing where a few of these creators could testify about what they're actually building together, though I suspect their testimony would prove far less tidy than a cap table."
