The USA Global Defense and Space Connectivity Act

Protecting America’s Lifelines: Internet Cables, Satellites, and Space Infrastructure

The United States relies on a network of undersea internet cables and satellites for communication, national security, and economic stability. These vital systems are under constant threat from tampering, hacking, and even outright destruction by foreign and malicious actors. The USA Global Defense and Space Connectivity Act ensures that these lifelines are secured under government oversight and establishes clear consequences for anyone who threatens them.

By controlling and securing these communication lines, this act will also prevent censorship, ensuring that freedom of speech remains alive and protected for all.

Core Objectives of the Act

1. Federal Oversight of Undersea Internet Cables

  • Place all undersea cables connecting U.S. networks under federal jurisdiction.
  • Regular inspections and monitoring will be conducted to detect and prevent tampering or sabotage.
  • Private companies operating these cables must adhere to stringent federal security protocols.

2. Strengthening Satellite Security

  • Classify U.S. internet and communication satellites as critical infrastructure, with enhanced protections against hacking, tampering, or destruction.
  • Implement mandatory cybersecurity measures for all ground stations and space communication networks.
  • Treat unauthorized attempts to access or destroy satellites as federal crimes with harsh penalties.

3. Securing Space Connectivity Systems

  • Require all connection points to satellites, such as ground-based antennas, to meet federal security standards.
  • Create a rapid-response team to address threats to these systems in real-time.

4. Protecting Deep-Sea Repair Operations

  • Establish a fleet of U.S.-operated deep-sea repair and monitoring ships tasked with safeguarding undersea cables.
  • Provide 24/7 security for repair vessels to prevent sabotage during maintenance operations.
  • Develop advanced robotic and AI technologies to conduct undersea inspections and repairs with minimal human risk.
  • Partner with private companies to ensure that undersea cable repairs are completed efficiently and securely.

5. Collaboration for Global Security

  • Partner with allies to establish international agreements on protecting undersea cables and satellite systems.
  • Share intelligence to combat cyberattacks and physical threats to global communication networks.

6. Preparing for Future Threats

  • Develop advanced technologies, such as AI-driven surveillance, to identify and neutralize emerging threats to internet and space infrastructure.
  • Invest in redundancy systems, like backup satellites, to ensure uninterrupted communication during emergencies or attacks.

7. Preserving Freedom of Speech

  • Ensure that the control and protection of communication systems prevent any form of censorship.
  • Maintain open and unrestricted internet access, safeguarding the free exchange of ideas and information.
  • Prohibit any misuse of these systems to suppress speech or limit public discourse.

8. Severe Penalties for Violations

  • Hacking, tampering, or destroying undersea cables, satellites, or connection systems will result in:
    • Fines of up to $10 million.
    • Up to 30 years in federal prison.
  • Foreign actors found responsible will face sanctions, asset freezes, and travel bans.

Why This Act is Crucial

  • Protecting National Security: A secure communication network ensures that the government, military, and citizens stay connected in times of crisis.
  • Economic Stability: Internet disruptions can cause billions in losses; protecting infrastructure prevents such risks.
  • Leadership in Space and Connectivity: By safeguarding these systems, the United States demonstrates its commitment to global stability and innovation.
  • Preventing Censorship: Ensuring control over communication systems keeps them free from manipulation, preserving the right to speak freely without fear of suppression.
  • Accountability for Threat Actors: This act sends a clear message that attacks on U.S. communication infrastructure will face the full force of the law.
