    Wow, you’re just trying to stir up shit, huh?

    Let me quote myself so you can see just how terrible your reading comprehension is.

    We need to work together on a global scale to hold countries accountable for what their citizens do on the internet.

    Did I mention barring anyone from the internet? Nope. Sure didn’t. What I said was that countries need to be held accountable for what their citizens do on a global scale when it comes to the internet just like they are in any other situation. I’m not saying only other counties. I’m not saying only African countries. So, please, take your bullshit and go feed it to someone else, because I don’t have the patience for it.
