    Ever heard of the lèse-majesté laws in Thailand? Now imagine a dictator able to use that to silence critics globally that are “cyberbullying” them. We already see it with countries filing bogus Interpol requests to harass dissident diaspora members. And sure you could have an independent body, but then that is subject to politics and capture.

      Yes, let’s imagine the worst possible implementation of this broad idea. Done. Let’s not do it that way then. Problem averted, thank you for submitting your complaint to the planning committee of the new world order justice system aka me apparently.

        Yes, let’s imagine how humans will try to exploit a system like this. Concentrate power like that and people will absolutely try to abuse it. Someone has to set and enforce the rules, and that means one single global point of failure.
