No matter the context, what he said was stupid.

He could have easily warned of the downside of technology without attacking US companies and alluding to his desire to limit our flow of information.

You guys may think his words are harmless but you can clearly see by reading this thread that many people did not hear the same harmless message.

Quick, if you interpret it differently, fine, but defining prep school vocabulary words and implying we are missing the point is simply condescending.
