I don't want anyone in a closed society and I'd go through great lengths to help people trapped in close societies have access to open connectivities like the internet.

If a society wants to be closed though, your society has the onus of responsibility to enforce closing. Your society can't impose that position on everyone. Hence me saying the society probably shouldnt be on the most open connected free connectivity on the planet, one created by open society & which enables open social values.

> You've decided...

It looks like you have decided here friend. I never openly said that, although heck the words I use build a pretty lopsided case. I think everyone should decide for themselves though, and come to their conclusions. To me the choice seems obvious & it's hard to see what is to respect about closed, but I'm open. I'm open to learning.

In a more open society, members can choose for themselves, i.e. they have more autonomy.

In a more closed society, more choice is taken away from you.
