*"Digital unilateralism offers low hanging fruits. But these fruits are
poisoned: Digital unilateralism can trigger weaponization of cyberspace,
digital trade wars and massive violation of human rights online. It can
undermine stability in cyberspace, a space which is used by more than half
of the global population. Cyberspace is now as much a part of the common
heritage of humans, of our ecosystem, as the natural environment. And
instability in cyberspace is just as dangerous as climate change. "*
# On occasions, in the interest of larger goodness not easily seen or
understood, some exceptional measures appear inevitable, but exceptional
excesses could become patters. What could the Internet Community and Civil
Society do to emphasize that exceptional and temporary measures remain just
that- exceptional, rare and temporary?
