The misconception deriving from the Feudalistic core of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, with all give respect my Pope, is that controlling access to information available for them can help them to find a good way of life.
The Church always had different schools than the Jews and our Aristocracy, who also founded and Cofounded Universities in which the courses are freely selected, was closer to the Jews.
And if it was just about our Egos on orders....
God or nature gave us a free will to make up our mind. That can not be charged like humans are made for walking and breaking someones legs won't turn his genetic code. He just has broken legs.
We have reached with digitalisation the ability to copy large texts in seconds for the costs of cleaning a shoe while in the Renessaince books were copied over weeks and sold for the price of even castles.
Everyone following the advice on self-change by that topless browny does so because they made that decision. That's there God given right.
Obviously, there are limits to living that and those depend on the rights of others.
The letter idea of law is lost in Western Nations.
Cyberpunk is the best we can get here and it just needs more revolt, rebellion and rejection on all levels and Authority will give up as peaceful as I did not dare hoping for...
