So,... do we disable their email, or disable their mouse?
It's not like we haven't tried educating computer users...
> “Government should agree not to attack civilian infrastructures, such as the electrical grid or electoral processes,”
Would certainly be used in the future as an excuse for electrical grids to “save money” or “put off upgrades” or...
The problem is, it’s not governments we need to worry about.
It’s ISIS.
It’s the Russian mafia (doing what they think Moscow would like for future rewards).
It’s the “contractor” North Korea can pay now to “cause havok”.
And even if it is directly done by a government it’s not as obvious as a tank or plane or missile may be so they’re more likely to ignore an agreement.
We’d better find a way to harden our system, not hope that an agreement saves us.
First order of business: Make hacking a hanging offense.
The Geneva Conventions had their origins in the US Army General Order 100, issued during the US Civil War.
“The Lieber Code of April 24, 1863, also known as Instructions for the Government of Armies of the United States in the Field, General Order Number 100, or Lieber Instructions, was an instruction signed by US President Abraham Lincoln to the Union Forces of the United States during the American Civil War that dictated how soldiers should conduct themselves in wartime. Its name reflects its author, the German-American legal scholar and political philosopher Franz Lieber.”

Participants in the international Hague Peace Conferences used Lieber’s text as the basis for negotiations which resulted in the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907. These two international agreements set forth laws of land and naval warfare.
“Subsequently, during World War I and World War II, many of these laws were broken. Following World War II, jurists at the Nuremberg Trials and the Tokyo Trials ruled that by 1939 the rules for armed conflicts, particularly those concerning belligerent and neutral nationals, had been recognized by all civilized nations and thus could apply to officials even of countries that never signed the Hague Conventions. Some features of the Lieber Code are still evident in the Geneva Conventions of 1949.”
World needs unicorns that poop gold too.
But even in the unlikely event that we get the unicorns, there isn’t going to be any gold, just poop.
Why compete when everyone can just hug and agree to play nice?
Why? Microsoft doesn’t follow the law or ethics as it is.
Microsoft steals user data.
Further back there’s the infamous Stuxnet sabotage campaign against Iranian nuclear facilities, a joint US/Israeli operation.
Pretty sure this is a suspected US/Israeli joint effort. I don’t believe it was ever admitted, was it?
They already have it Brad....
It’s called the IEEE
Brad is a Technocrat that wants to bring in the Technocracy to run the world through a control grid. The control grid is the 5G.
5G will change the world as we know it. The public will first see it in April of 2018 or 5 months from now. By 2022 it will be everywhere like 4G.
By 2025 the public will see the world change from the 5G. It will give the world the bandwidth we do not have right now. It will bring in the A.I. (Artificial Intelligence), Drones, Robots, Auto Cars, trucks, ships, planes, Nanotech, Smart Dust, etc... Everything in your home will be connected online. This includes refrigerators, dish washer, dryers, washing machines, the heating and air, etc... The Smart Home in other words.
Just Google, Bing, Yahoo it or Youtube “5G Network”. It will tell you all about it.
