For sure there are still problems with it. But IMO the benefits of such an organization would outweigh any of the drawbacks.

A ton of countries wouldn't go through the effort to block it, it would help those in impoverished areas to connect, etc.

And for those in places that would actively try to stop such a connection, people wouldn't be trying to connect if they didn't find it worth the risk. I heard about the starlink/iran one as well.
