Don't forget that Musk is also the one who intentionally blocked paid service from Ukraine during a critical moment in the early days of Russia's current genocide, because Musk sucks up to Putin. Dude needs to answer for his actions.

How about internet that can be blocked at the whims of a billionaire? At least government is supposed to answer to the people.

Not blockable by any government would be a positive in my book if it didn't imply bloclable by a single billionaire with huge mood swing. Don't forget how musk switched off starlink in Crimea at Putin's request when the Russian realized starlink guided missile were heading towards their ships (Source

How is a billionaire manchild in charge any better, at least a government is accountable to the people.

Controlled by governments or controlled by corpos and the super rich? I say there's hardly an improvement.

Oh? What about internet controlled by a billionaire who makes sure his toxic website featuring his version of “free speech” is always available to protect his profits and spread his bullshit while undermining the policies of a sovereign state?

So much better than the evil government.

Can't calculate the net yet, since we don't know the gross. He has the capability to cause massive damage with the power he wields. It's already clear that he's incapable of providing an unbiased platform. It needs to belong to the people or it can never be trusted

That’s an arbitrary metric. What about internet across oceans, or across forests? Blocking content is a question of why and what. Shouldn’t we be able to block child exploitation websites? That is to say, of course we can, and it’s very easy. The only question is whether you want that kind of censorship to be up to your service provider or your government.

it's already been blocked in ukraine by musk at the request of putin

It's not worth the cost of ruining LEO and the environmental effects of them burning up in the atmosphere

You can block or disrupt communications with LEO.
But you'd need the blessing of the country's government to pump out that much interference continuously.
