I have some idea on Internet 2.0.

Idea #1: Allow people to isolate entire countries and continents from their network. If a packet originates from, say, India, and it is heading towards, say, my networks, I can just publish "I don't accept anything from India, so don't bother sending me the packets. I'll just drop them." As word spreads, everyone will stop accepting any packet from India that is moving towards my direction. If enough people publish such a rule, then people just stop accepting packets altogether from India.

Idea #2: Have a basic intelligence test that the users must pass in order to use the internet. Test them occasionally throughout the year. If they fail the test, then they are banned from all networking until they can pass again. If they fail too many times, they get a lifetime ban.

Idea #3: People who use the internet to do obviously evil things like CP are just shot on the spot. If you want to post that or share it, and people find out, we just end the threat. Just because you are free to express your ideas does not mean you are free to determine how others will react.

Other ideas you might get shot for: communism, Judaism, banning guns or "Free Speech", etc...

If you think this is unfair, go create your own internet where you can freely share CP and Judaism and communism. Just don't connect to our internet.

Idea #4: No bots. No programs or scripts. Anyone caught using these things is immediately banned. Basically, you can send hand-written packets and that's it. If it's not so important that you're not willing to prove that you're a human, then it's not worth it and you shouldn't do it.

Maybe allow bots and scripts between point-to-point but only after both parties agree to it. Or maybe it's just not worth the risk.

Idea #5: No games, no profit, nothing like that. If you want to play games or make money, do it outside. The internet is only for communicating between intelligent adults. If you want to have your own internet for playing games, go build that somewhere else. If you want to have your own internet for making money, go do that somewhere else.

Idea #6: If you want to contribute something to the foundation of knowledge for the good of the human race, then do that somewhere else. The internet is not a good place for that, and it never will be, because it is ephemeral. Go create an underground data silo or something.
