Thank you Daniel for that question.
May, I include this, "who or on what basis has the authority to ascertain
what is good and bad in a borderless world? , Or do we need to do what we
can do to get going?

Warm wishes,

Sea.

Nice try Paul, but please don't claim I suggested any of this!
Internet is different. :) Here, in this reality humans can freely express
and those who read sometimes understand.

All I said is, because Internet is different, in that it obeys no borders,
there is no applicable law of 'democratic nature', designed outside of the
Internet, that is applicable to Internet as whole.

This is because by (your) definition, let me cite:

Internet is a different reality, than the physical world. It crosses any and
all borders of the physical world.

I asked you a simple question. Let me ask again: how does a "democratically
elected" entity in one country have any power in another country, where that
same entity is NOT democratically elected to have that power?

Otherwise, I agree -- everything you say is correct, in theory. Only problem
is you try to project it in a different reality, where the projection might
not even make sense.

Daniel
