To answer question quoted by Lily: is Internet incapable of helping people in war?

Depends:

there were "internets" that did not offer any support, because they were focused on (big) tech;;;

and then there was ZaMir: using technology to create connections between humans in need.

You can see that on a panel discussion at SEE-10 meeting in 2022, where Wam Kat was a guest.  ">Technical< history of Internet Infrastructure in ex-Yugoslavia" : https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/regional-meetings/see/see-10/webstream-recordings
