I think we're seeing a decline in the idea that Code is Law. It was an interesting idea while it lasted, and there are still a *lot* of unaccountable infrastructures that are effectively making & enforcing private legislation. But technology is ultimately managed by people, and those people are subject to laws.
If you want a just society, there's no getting around politics; you need good laws and trustworthy governments to carry them out.

It's also not clear to me in 2024 that anyone can meaningfully defend human rights by defending the maximal discretion of technology makers, if we ever could, given the pretty dismal record they have accumulated on that front.
