How many users are actually malicious though? If you limit the "network" in size.
I remember having a school computer where everyone in the class just had a folder on the desktop. It worked fine. I am still not used to entering a password to start my computer. It feels like I don't trust my freinds and family.
- donohoe 6y agoI hope you're right! My local neighborhood has about 70,000 people. Let's say 10% are on a network, how many of that 7,000 people do you need to 'ruin' it for others, or make it an unwelcoming place? I've seen smaller forums and email lists suffer at much smaller scale.
- hobs 6y agoOne. If you dont have proper moderation tools, one single malicious user can make a high trust network untenable.
- rightbyte 6y agoAn example of a "high trust" community network that works is mail. Anyone can open someones mailbox and read or steal any content. Atleast by houses. The main difference might be that it is easier to hide on a network of 1s and 0s?
- guenthert 6y agoAt least in the USA this would be a felony (and the USPS has even its own law enforcement division). So this isn't just based on "high trust".
- rightbyte 6y agoSure, but computer fraud is also a felony. And stealing someones mail from the garden mail post is trivial compared to stealing email. The analogy is not waterproof but it is a good example of something that is quite easy to ruin by people in the neighbourhood but works quite ok anyway.
