Even if you don't subscribe to the Dark Forest Hypothesis it's extraordinarily unethical to violate the cosmic privacy of the entire human race without their consent- at worst it's essentially summoning the obliteration of all life on Earth; at best it's scientifically experimenting on the entire human race present and future without our consent.

We should be locking up people who do this or conspire to do this for life so they don't do any more damage.
