Controversial take:
Freedom is not the same thing as anarchy. Freedom comes from Constitution and some form of state that enforces laws, and protects it's citizens. (Paraphrasing Lessig's CODE 2.0 http://www.codev2.cc/ http://www.codev2.cc/ from 1999!)
Is it possible, that in order to gain freedom the internet has to become more regulated not less?
If this is the case, how can we do this?
There are no international bodies that have been successful at regulating the internet as a whole.
So far regulation of the internet has effectively come from large governments like the US/EU which are limited in scope and had great trouble being effectively enforced.
Given that there are no global institutions, that can effectively enforce internet regulation:
Is there any way around some form of segregation of the internet along national borders (EU/US/CN/..), that allows the states to enforce their rules within their part of the internet, and keep out bad actors from elsewhere?
