I am just saying that any pro-nuclear activist should recognize that the same way that this crew managed to make more people Luddites and technophobic/distrustful of everything from social networking technologies/search engines/ai/concepts like the IoT, will unchecked almost certainly do something that reinforces the very prejudices you talk about.

As you must be well aware, anything like an accident combined with widespread dislike and distrust of these guys will seed further distrust and resistance in the public mind.

They (Zuck, Musk, Trump etc.) need brakes wrt any technology..I would certainly want them to stay far away from anything I supported.
