Idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot!
Your bank will not ask for your password via email. Hot, 18 year old girls didn't just "discover" the Internet and decide to share their nude photos with you. They start doing that at 13, and yes, your kid too you ignoramus. Don't open attachments from people you don't know. Don't open attachments period. Don't download via Limewire, learn to use Torrents, they're faster and the RIAA won't find you as easily. If you go to a website and you hear "Congratuluations, y ou just won" it means, "Congratulations, you went to a website where the webmaster thinks his audience is stupid enough to fall for such an ad." Don't bother with emails from Nigerian princes who need to smuggle money out of the country using your bank account. It's really not worth all the back and forth unless it's for $1 billion or more. And finally, stop clicking ads with games in them that are only entertaining to someone with the intellect of a five year old. We know someone has to and it's probably you. - badqat, on 12/28/2008, -2/+91Sure...let's put the UN in charge of the 'net. And let's also start paying 'net taxes. Access tax, use tax, bandwidth tax, sales tax, blogging tax, digg tax, etc.
/s - inactive, on 12/28/2008, -2/+73We need Internet police to protect people from their own stupidity? What a waste of time.
- Snoosy, on 12/29/2008, -4/+37Firefox + Adblock Plus + NoScript = Better than anything "Internet Police" could do for security threats.
- Infowarsdotcom, on 12/29/2008, -2/+34Not wanted: loss of net freedom.
- DarkCloud515, on 12/29/2008, -2/+34The Internet is the last place I know where I can do whatever the ***** I want. Let's keep it that way, please?
- EMFK, on 12/29/2008, -3/+31Next they'll want to tax the air we breathe. Hell No!
- OmegaWolf, on 12/29/2008, -2/+28No, no, no! I don't care how well intentioned it is; Internet regulation will lead to censorship and suppression of dissenting ideas.
People need to take responsibility for their own security. Get good antivirus, spyware, etc. programs and keep them updated. Stay away from questionable websites and for *****'s sake, don't use Internet Explorer! - Ymeg, on 12/29/2008, -4/+28Instead, I propose a mandatory IQ test.
- bixby1, on 12/28/2008, -4/+25Call the internet police?
- FTLJohnson, on 12/29/2008, -0/+18you forgot:
adult content tax, recreational content tax, search engine tax, music tax, per word tax, text to speech tax, speech to text tax, per view tax, content verification tax, internet security tax, content provider tax, presidential election fund tax, homeland security fees, freedom of speech tax, sarbanes oxely maintenance fees, mccain feingold 'blogging freedom' fee,
hillary clinton mature language regulatory act tax...
Keep going... The internet is a big place... If you look at the list of taxes in the brick and mortal realm.... The list would probably take you all week to read.
Article buried for being written by a moron. - Elsewhere42, on 12/29/2008, -0/+15I think there should also be an international organization for regulating and policing the air we use to talk to each other.
This will prevent criminals from using the air to talk to people. - iancgi, on 12/29/2008, -0/+15The first sentence of this article should make everyone oppose this idea.
"The Internet needs to be globally regulated"
Regulate the first and last truly free medium in the world? No thanks.
Keep the net free! - digitalpencil, on 12/29/2008, -1/+15* sobs ;(
- Totz83, on 12/29/2008, -4/+18a better joke writer.
- katatoniq, on 12/29/2008, -3/+16isn't that what australia's censorship is for!
AUSTRALIA 2009: leading the world to a safer internet.
/end sarcasm - boxxa, on 12/29/2008, -3/+16A internet police force would be like Bush's war on terror or the war on drugs.
Just a waste of money and no real way to stop it. - thebuggalo, on 12/29/2008, -0/+12Don't open attachments period? Why not just not get an email account all together? Why not just disconnect your computer from the internet? That will stop them!
Seriously. You don't have to be paranoid, just use common sense. - microview2007, on 12/29/2008, -0/+11Web police = Censorship + Taxation.
- haentz, on 12/29/2008, -0/+10and isn't the / already standing for "end"?
- niradg, on 12/29/2008, -0/+10baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad idea
- austinhamon, on 12/29/2008, -1/+11If people are suggesting "web police" maybe it is time for us to finally sit back and watch survival of the fittest kick in.
- derekmas10, on 12/29/2008, -1/+10common sense is all too uncommon
- VancouverDave, on 12/29/2008, -0/+9Fraud is already a crime - there's no need to create a new law to specify the medium in which the fraud takes place. All that's required is to enforce the existing law. That company must have a physical presence somewhere (even if it's only a bank account), and that's all you need to send the real cops, not some "internet cops", to go and freeze their assets pending charges. Just that simple.
- derekmas10, on 12/29/2008, -0/+9Ma'am, I'm here to protect you.
From what?
Your overwhelming stupidity... now if you'll just click here... and here... - embryoinbloom, on 12/29/2008, -1/+10dugg for ignoramus
- 2ach, on 12/29/2008, -2/+11Well okay, since a "researcher" suggested it...
- GangsterCompute, on 12/29/2008, -0/+9You know, a huge contributing factor to the failure of East Germany was the situation where half the population was being paid by the state to spy on the other half of the population. And they still couldn't stop kids from getting smuggled American rock records, and other foreign goods sans tariff.
- mattrmcg, on 12/29/2008, -0/+8A collection of idiots glued onto construction paper?
- spriggig, on 12/29/2008, -0/+8No and hell no!
They could however, stop the insane "war on drugs" and divert those *substantial* resources to investigating and prosecuting internet scams using existing laws. And while they're at it, they could clean house at the SEC. - Scott2, on 12/29/2008, -0/+7VERY BAD IDEA!!!
- gibbwake, on 12/29/2008, -0/+7F**k you - stop calling for web censorship. The internet is the last bastion of free speech, those that want to change that are tyrants who will benefit from ending the free flow of information.
- Klisk, on 12/29/2008, -0/+7More likely a spin on IRC commands.
- S201, on 12/29/2008, -0/+6Yes more regulation. That's what we need!
/s - digitalpencil, on 12/29/2008, -5/+11♬ ♩ when there's something strange, on the internet.. who you gonna call? ♪ ♫
- Rosco, on 12/29/2008, -0/+6The web police, they live inside of my head.
The web police, they come to me in my bed.
The web police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.
You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain't nice.
And when I fall asleep I dont think Ill survive the night, the night.
cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Every single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.
The web police, they live inside of my head.
(live inside of my head.)
The web police, they come to me in my bed.
(come to me in my bed.)
The web police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no. - moxley, on 12/29/2008, -0/+6Let's see.... I am trying to think of a very concise and well-thought response to this...
***** NO!!!!
Be ready because more and more they are going to try harder and harder to subject us to this. - eddantes7, on 12/29/2008, -2/+8It wasn't that bad.
- Infowarsdotcom, on 12/29/2008, -1/+6Reminds me of this song...
and the mighty multinationals
have monopolized the oxygen
so it's as easy as breathing
for us all to participate
yes they're buying and selling
off shares of air
and you know it's all around you
but it's hard to point and say "there"
so you just sit on your hands
and quietly contemplate - korvan504521, on 12/29/2008, -0/+5And *I* should be in charge of it. I'll take care of everything.
Just need 1% of your yearly income. Thats not too much right? - jmm2336, on 12/29/2008, -1/+6We do not need Government to regulate any more than they already do. What they have regulation over now is not doing much for consumers.
- kernel16, on 12/29/2008, -0/+5Let's not.
- EricMiIIer, on 07/10/2009, -0/+5As a web developer my job is dependent on the internet, but if they start in with the cyber cops, taxes, and censorship I will be the first person in line to watch it burn.
I can always find another career path. - shredluc, on 12/29/2008, -2/+7It's funny how Digg gets up in arms when an internet regulation suggestion comes up but calls deregulation stupid and crazy when it comes to the economy. I postulate that both work in the same way and what made the internet great (i didn't say "without problems" but I'll take these problems vs anything else) can make our economy great.
And please don't equate the free market to driving without steering. It really fails as an analogy. - DforSpiD, on 12/30/2008, -0/+5We'd lose the bottom end, no big loss... unless you're worried about not making the cut
- crackedlogic, on 12/29/2008, -1/+6what programming language does /end exist in?
- MarkOfTheDead, on 12/29/2008, -0/+4GTFO DAD
- latrosicarius, on 12/29/2008, -0/+4Don't worry Ma'am, I'm from the Internet.
- Nerys, on 12/30/2008, -0/+4***** it just needs one thing. EDUCATION. it does not take a brain surgeon to realized what to click and what not to click and how to be safe.
almost 100% of "scam" and "crap" online depend on uncontrolled greed and just plain stupidity. - btc08, on 12/29/2008, -0/+4Bad idea. We'd lose 1/2 of digg and 2/3rds of reddit.
