In the internet world, mass depeering / de-transitting like we've

You are confused.
Connecting to my network is a PRIVILEGE, not a right. You lose a
criminal case, you lose rights (e.g. freedom to walk outside).
Disconnecting you from my network is not denying any of your rights.
There is no law or even custom stopping me from asking you to prove
you are worthy to connect to my network. You don't want to prove it,
that's your right, just as it is my right to not connect to you.
Mind if I ask why you think you have any right to connect to my
network if I do not want you to do so? For _any_ reason, including
not showing me "legit" customers, political affiliation, or even the
color of your hat?

But even in a court of law in a criminal case a defense must be made,
otherwise the least sort of evidence of culpability can produce
conviction;
the defendant must at least put on a defense to invalidate the
culpatory
evidence. So when culpatory evidence is presented in these cases,
requesting
exculpatory evidence is very reasonable.
Lack of a defense in a civil case will virtually guarantee a favorable
judgment for the plaintiff, however.
