And this coming from the guy that likes the idea of not having a "transparent" internet.

This quote says it all, folks. Anyone who has read my columns know I'm the man who along with author David Brin has called for more transparency on the Internet to protect all web surfers. Who wants to take a bet that there will be a smarmy reply to this post about the loss of freedoms, the destruction of choice because of corporate rule and other New World Order hyperbole?
Honestly, do you know anyone that knows it all who doesn't have to get in the last word on something like this? C'mon, it's easy money to take this bet...

I meant anonymity. My mistake. From Scott's article:

We need an end to the anonymity on the Internet. Look at how hackers and other cheaters on the Internet operate and you’ll see that it’s all about hiding, anonymity, disregard for private property and a rejection of the social norms.

Keep that in mind before any of you think that he is anything less than an avowed statist. He knows very well that his plan cannot be brought to fruition without a very large growth of state police power.
