What we need is distribution of power. Power acts upon information. There was that weird idea that with solid information there's no need to distribute power. When people say "due process", they usually mean that. This wasn't true anyway.

Information is still fine, people lie and have always lied, humanity has always relied upon chains and webs of trust.

The issue is centralized power forcing you to walk their paths.
