664−**TLDR**: Facebook is a digital dictatorship.
665−Urbit is a decentralized network with a republican constitution.
667−It's especially important to combat the impression that Tlon is a
668−reactionary conspiracy. Tlon is a Delaware corporation. It
669−exists to make its investors as rich as possible. We are not
670−aware of our investors' ideologies. We are pretty confident that
671−they don't take precedence, ever, over turning a profit.
673−As in any corporation, Tlon's employees work for its investors.
674−Those employees would have trouble conspiring in any political

684−needs to move slowly and carefully in establishing it.
