No, it doesn't. Commands could be authenticated using a pre-shared secret. Even public cryptography existed prior to Voyager 1's launch (by a year).

Based on the state of computer security at that time I would guess that's unlikely, but then again it was the Cold War.

Anyway, just because it is possible it doesn't mean anyone can do it.

Protecting, say, 17 year olds from deliberate access to porn is weird when you think about it. If they want porn, they are post-pubescent and therefore sexually mature.

"You are not 18 therefore you cannot have sexual interests" is a weird take on the face of it.

Maybe lock up the weird/dangerous stuff, and make it hard for little kids to see, but otherwise, knock yourself out.

Yeah, chess was really hard when the board had to be vertical. Horizontal orientation was a huge improvement to the player experience.

Don't forget USB sticks and file storage services like DropBox.

CD burning was mostly dead by the mid-to-late naughties. Streaming came later.

𝕏 is actually a Unicode symbol, so musk can’t trademark it

That's not true, it absolutely can be a trademark. You might be thinking of copyright - he can't copyright the current 𝕏 logo.

The rights you'd get from each protection are different and a sensible business probably would want both. Trademark protection would prevent another tech company trading as 𝕏; copyright protection for the logo would let you set terms on how it is used.
