"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."
Your use (and thorough butchering) of Franklin's quote in this context is especially hilarious because Franklin, in the letter from the Pennsylvania Assembly, was lobbying for Britain to appoint its own governor for Pennsylvania instead of the governor set by the Penn family, the owner of most land in the state. And then to tax the Penn family to fund ongoing conflicts in other colonies. Which proposition made Franklin unpopular in Pennsylvania, so he was soon booted from the Assembly.
"He who trades his freedom for safety gets none of them."
