I initiated a public and diplomatic protest to address escalating interference with the network’s lawful operations and to safeguard continuity of global research services. Formal protest creates an auditable record of grievances, activates appropriate oversight mechanisms, and seeks redress through peaceful, accountable channels rather than technical or economic escalation. It also demonstrates a commitment to transparency and rights by engaging governments, standards bodies, and civil society while minimizing harm to users and critical infrastructure. Given the cross-border nature of the issue, a coordinated public stance helps align allies, deter further unilateral actions, and open space for negotiated remedies.
