He may sell the top-selling anti-virus package, but he's dead wrong here. Not only does he demand an end to internet anonymity, but anyone wanting to use the internet should be required to have their own personal internet license. As in every keystroke, every mouse click, is traceable back to you. Not just a computer lab or internet cafe, but right to your doorstep. Applications like Tor would be banned outright.

"Papers, please" much?

He doesn't believe the great unwashed should ever have been allowed on the internet. It was created for academics and the military, and it should have stayed that way. Letting the rest of us in was a massive mistake.

Really, my first (and second) thought on reading these articles was, "well fuck you, pal". You would side with the dictators, despots, and others who would silence those who shine a light on their abuses and misdeeds. You would expose those who would speak out, knowing full well that exposure means death.

Really, fuck you, Kapersky.

Wow.... no.

Dude's Russian. He grew up in a police state. I wouldn't expect him to understand freedom.

It doesn't excuse your comment. It would be the same as looking at a criminal who's black and saying "He's black. His ancestors were enslaved. I wouldn't expect him to respect the law."

Never gonna happen.

yeah, whatever. I'm not looking to excuse my comment.

Good, because there is no excuse.

Oh, there's always an excuse. Whether it is a good one or not is another story.

Don't confuse a reason for an excuse.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee FTW!

I myself feel that it is very important that my ISP supplies internet to my house like the water company supplies water to my house. It supplies connectivity with no strings attached. My ISP doesn't control which websites I go to, it doesn't monitor which websites I go to.

Well yeah. Dude's British. He grew up before it became a police state. I'd expect him to like his freedom.

I admit, I laughed.
