> Actions are untraceable? Crime has no consequences? In a sense, yes. The risk to the attacker is reduced so significantly, and the consequences are so remote, that people on the internet will do something horrible just for fun. Basically, distance, anonymity, and lack of consequences seems to turn a lot of people into sociopaths. People develop in a society, face to face, where your actions have consequences to you and to others around you, and ultimately to your relationships with people you interact with directly. I think the internet provides some evidence that if we didn't have that, a lot more people would act horribly to one another. Granted, that's not Chrysler's fault. But providing a "crash my car over the internet" button is handing those people a very powerful tool, and that seems like negligence to me. Let's put it this way: would you drive a car you know someone could hijack and crash over the internet at any time? Wouldn't you like a reasonable assurance that your car has been designed to prevent that?
