> With the Law of Sea and the Outer Space Treaty, we have preserved new frontiers for the common good No we haven't. We have needlessly put limits to who can go to the stars and seas, as if the entire oceans and indeed the whole universe belongs to earth's heads of governments. The web is still the most open platform one can find, and like all undiscovered lands it is full of dangers and opportunity. We are hugely thankful to Sir Berners-Lee (my personal hero) for creating and generously giving us such an open world-wide network full of opportunity. But the ones who are destroying the web are russia's government, china's government, the NSA, Europes regulations etc, who not only want to restrict their subjects physically, but also want to own all their information. This is a bad proposition born out of fear and will only provide a temporary protection to corrupt governance. We should instead double down on free networks, create new channels and underlying infrastructure for information to flow freely, and perhaps also break up monopolies that funnel too great amounts of information. > If we don’t elect politicians who defend a free and open web, if we don’t do our part to foster constructive healthy conversations online, Just like universal human rights, we just can't rely on the electorates to protect freedoms, we need wide consensus
