3 Billion humans not on the Internet might be a good thing

Interesting Engineering @IntEngineering
Approximately 3 billion people globally lack internet access, a gap companies like Starlink and Astranis aim to fill. Starlink uses numerous Low Earth Orbit satellites to provide internet, but it’s expensive and faces connectivity issues due to the rapid movement of satellites. https://pic.twitter.com/nj5nXlNJQg

Thank you for sharing this. I think about those 3 billion almost every day. I also worry that what they will find on the Internet is fragmented, untraceable, biased, expensive, controlled, inefficient, and mostly not aimed to help humans live lives with dignity and purpose.
