Do you really think you want live in a world where people can do whatever they want on their computers?
- brink 2y agoDo you really think you want to live in a world where people disagree with you? Not saying that cyber-crime is a good thing, just trying to illustrate that we shouldn't be gauging what should be possible by what you want and don't want.
- padjo 2y agoWhat? I’m delighted to live in a world where people disagree with me. It would be tremendously dull otherwise. We design the world around what large majorities of “reasonable” people want all the time. I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make here at all.
- IAmNotACellist 2y agoYes Because I know the alternative and I've seen the motivations of people trying to tell me what to do "for my own good"
- padjo 2y agoOk, you do realise people commit crimes using computers yes?
- vunderba 2y agoYou do realize that crimes are specific to geographic regions, yes? How EXACTLY would you propose building inherent limitations into a general purpose computing device that would account for this?
- padjo 2y agoWho said anything about inherent limitations?
- IAmNotACellist 2y agoYou can drive your car into a crowd of people, and that's illegal everywhere.
