I don’t believe it should be given the same self-determination as the citizens of the 13 colonies. The 1996 Declaration of Independence for cyberspace states “You claim there are problems among us that you need to solve. You use this claim as an excuse to invade our precincts.” I believe that the cyberspace realm needs to be invaded as it isn’t completely figured out and there are problems that will need to be solved. The 1776 Declaration of Independence established self-determination but it also gave room for error as it wasn’t perfectly constructed government. They are similar in stating the current problems and why this might be a solution. Both send the message that they are here to stay and aren’t going to be scared away by other countries or by humans trying to get rid of the cyber space. There definitely needs to be control over cyber space and while there can be self-determination to an extent, it needs to be monitored and invaded by proposed laws throughout the world. Civilization will be created on the internet much like how it was in America. There always has to be some policing in order to maintain balance and order without complete chaos.
