Articles like this make me think my son is correct: People need to get a license to operate a computer just like people need to get a license to operate a car.
Nope! Adware, Spyware, Spoofs and Phishing should be crimes. Making the innocent to respond to the immoral is counter to the public interest. Punish the guilty, not the innocent.
People need to stop driving their Microsoft go-karts on the Internet and use an OS that takes security into account.
Lots of idiots drive cars too.
Here we go again!
In a "conservative", limited-government website no less. The first time a problem pops up, who do they turn to? More big government.
Don't you understand if you call on the government to do everything for you, they'll soon be running EVERYTHING? How is a license going to solve this problem? Tell me? All you'll do is empower another government agency. Would you like them controlling the internet by declaring who can and who can't get access and under what conditions?
No thanks!
Jeez... If all else fails... get off the web! Don't impose more government on us.
There's also this pesky 1st Amendment which SHOULD prevent this from happening (but who cares about that... huh? It's O.K. if it's for a conservative cause.)
"Internet users at home are not nearly as safe online as they believe"
The first word of this sentence should be "Stupid."
