I started reading thinking this was a quote from the article, what a wild ride. :D Good stuff though
Edit: turns out it’s a video, if anyone has a tldw I’m all ears
TL;DW: Bloomberg is using the same tactics to kill manufacturing that Meta is using to kill the open web and device ownership, and also potentially the entire open-source ecosystem if this 3D printing stuff extends to general software and to OSes like Linux as well, of using a bunch of shell organizations which look grassroots, to lobby for draconian 3D printing lockdown and age-gating laws respectively.

Sorry, I meant OP’s video
