We let too many morons on the net, now it's either give up freedom or give up democracy and the rule of law. Aside from an Internet "driving license" or tests before people are allowed to vote, I don't see how we can keep both. I liked a free Web too...
- Nasrudith 5y agoBy not falling for the bullshit of anybody who says you need to give up freedom of information for security - they are lying to you from the start and plan only more lies and abuse of power. An internet driver's license is a terrible technically illiterate idea trying to cast itself as something reasonable. Who can I run over with my internet connection? How the hell would anybody check who is behind a terminal in the privacy of their own home? It would require somehow embedding an actual identifier in every last packet and ensuring it is always valid and isn't susceptible to replay or known plaintext attacks.
