Not to be that guy, but Picard wanted to communicate with the Crystalline entity using resonant frequencies. It was Data's "mother" who locked everyone out and turned the resonance up to max.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Not to be even more that guy, but it wasn't Data's "mother" but the mother of a colonist who was one of a number of colonists that had memories uploaded into Data's brain. She didn't see Data as a son, she saw her son as being inside Data.
Data's actual "mother" would show up later and retcon herself into his history because it was season 7 and they were running out of ideas.
Oh god that's right, she kept getting him to pretend to be her dead son. Bad vibes.
Data's mother had much nicer vibes.
she saw her son as being inside Data.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Does Tom Riker deserve human rights though, really? :-P
That expression is priceless! :-D
Unfortunately, the image is cropped so you can't see that the list ends, at the bottom, with Ensign Kim.

If you could only hear yourselves! Human rights, the very name is racist!
Wouldn't it be speciest?
We might want to reconsider rights for Transporter Clones. So far, they're all up to no good
Riker's clone eventually did the right thing.
After nearly resparking the Federation-Cardassian war.
Tuvix entire life was based on preventing two crew members from living their lives despite being entirely reversible.
Even more, if we do consider him a seperate entity from his parents, that means he is not Starfleet, but has intimate knowledge of sensitive Starfleet information, as well as not being a proper member of the crew. He's too dangerous to let go even if he has no ill intent, their enemies could find and interrogate him, and too untrustworthy to allow free reign of the ship, which would lead to him being becoming jaded at being held in custody for not intentionally committing a crime despite know from Tuvok's knowledge why he can't just be allowed to roam.
that means he is not Starfleet, but has intimate knowledge of sensitive Starfleet information, as well as not being a proper member of the crew.
On any other show than Voyager that might be a good point, but half of voyagers crew (including the second officer and chief engineer) are terrorists who were given field commissions out of necessity
If they gave the Crystalline Entity rights, they'd just have to arrest it and give it its day in court, which...might be difficult
Well, the Crystalline Entity was just feeding, and as soon as humans communicated with it in a way it could understand, it realized we were intelligent and stopped. Then we murdered it. But the point is, they let other beings get away with way worse. That old man from The Survivors genocided 50 billion people and Picard was like, "...well, as long as you feel bad about it, we'll leave you alone."
Everyone forgets Archer deliberately created a Trip clone for the purpose of killing him.
