Could we work to sanction the use of internet as part of the Human rights charter? Granted, there’s elements of the charter that do allow us internet access, but the technology of internet specifically is not quite considered a “right.”
I think it’s important that work be done to do so, because there are many groups who’s best interest is to eliminate public access so easily. Thank god for its clever defensive system that you can’t take it out by one satellite, but I’m sure there’s numbers being crunched as to the feasability and advantages of crippling its access.
I think it should be sanctioned as something you can’t destroy simply because of the beauty in the way that information is exchanged for such a ridiculously low cost. It’s not only revolutionary, it sustains a higher quality of life.
Such a sanction would be specific about its existence, more than how groups respond to it. It wouldn’t go after nations that are trying to sensor it from the public. That’s bad, but it wouldn’t step on their toes. Either way, the nations that don’t sensor it would probably gain the most hard working immigration anyway.
Basically it would detail how certain satellites need to remain in orbit and at a specified level of function. That’s all. Governments could try blanketing the atmosphere with a message-blocking fog, they just couldn’t legally destroy the satellites. They could say that it’s an act of terrorism, they still couldn’t destroy them.
The invention is just so darn strong that no matter what they do, people are still likely to modify their own technology to access it. All thanks to (probably) commie hating DARPA.
