the power to effect change

The most important part. TPTB will let you have whatever little conservative corner of the net that you want, so long as you don't affect election outcomes or other policy. The second your online behavior starts moving the real world in a rightward direction, you'll get banned. We now see that the once-egalitarian chorus of internet pioneers never really wanted free and effective speech. Rather, they wanted free and ineffective speech for our side, while their side was free to be as effective as they wanted.
