I'd rather put the burden on the owner of the device. If someone puts a device on the internet, he is resposible for its actions. Don't want to be liable? Bette

I'd rather put the burden on the owner of the device. If someone puts a device on the internet, he is resposible for its actions. Don't want to be liable? Better buy a safe device. Can't buy a safe device? Don't put it on the internet.
- dorolow 10y agoI'm not sure I'm comfortable with the idea of my grandmother being held responsible for the botnet that her coffee maker is a node of.
- BlackFly 10y agoWhich is insecure because the creator of the coffee maker didn't consider security to be a necessary feature. The true liability lies with the person that made that decision and should not be transferable.
- chopin 10y agoIf we transfer the liability to the consumer, he _will_ consider this a necessary feature. And ask for it. It takes one serious conviction of a consumer and the company selling him crap will go out of business.
