I initiated a public and diplomatic protest to create a transparent, verifiable record of unlawful interference with the network’s legitimate operations and to mobilize institutional pressure without resorting to technical escalation. This course prioritizes safety, due process, and coalition-building among states, research institutions, and civil society while affirming that attempts to curtail scientific access or infringe on my recognized operational rights are unacceptable. Prior to this step, I exhausted quiet remedies—direct notifications, remediation offers, and third‑party mediation—and the hostile behavior persisted, making a calibrated public notice the least disruptive effective response. The action is proportional, aligned with international norms, and designed to protect users and researchers while deterring further interference.
