So if you founded some wildly successful unicorn, I (or the government) can come over and say "nice startup, too bad it runs off of the internet (based off ARPANET), so your startup belongs to the the state now"?
The government can already do that if it so chooses, given that the government is the singular reason why any corporation is able to exist as an independent legal entity in the first place (as opposed to a bunch of individual persons collaborating informally).
Got a whole wagon of straw to sell you, you're going to need it
