They must be new on planet earth.
It is not even about right or wrong. The question is, what does the NYT narrative serve? Is it anti-french? The last time the U.S. had an official anti-French attitude was before the invasion of Iraq. Perhaps they are trying to give the French Globalists something to browbeat against the French Nationalists.

One bot's info is another bot's entropy.
When corporations are holding the privacy line against the state, there are wolves in the pasture.
Exactly why we should regulate IP address and protocols, so that every company that handles them is beholden to the same conditions for preserving our privacy. Instead we play whack-a-mole regulating individual company behavior, while they continue to control the protocols and addresses and everything on top of those layers.
Cookies are a good example. That browsers give up a cookie at all—who consented to this specification? GDPR could have changed browser specs so that cookies were truly opt-in; it regulates company behavior instead, which is weak.
Fundamentally, our choices are being made for us at the protocol level, and everything we have as a result is emergent, and so people argue about regulating the emergent properties.
What is broken about the internet is that we don't have our own addresses, like in real life. (Cue security red-scare and condescending technical types who think it's too complicated for the user.)
It is not all about scale. Much of P2P web development is idealistically about designing a more subjective internet.
