I can't say for sure, but is it possible they're referring to the founding of the Internet Association in 2012?[0]

I don't think it's that, because the Wikipedia article makes it seem like it was a force for good, but at the time, it wasn't certain at all that it would be that way.[1]

Beyond that, I'm not exactly sure what might be meant.
