Quote:We foresee a new internet emerging, with two distinct sides. On one side, we’ll have the wholly unfiltered, minimally regulated, Wild West internet that anyone can access.

On the other side, we might see the evolution of what could be called the “World Wide Intranet,” that is, widely accessible but tightly controlled websites with stringent access controls to prevent criminal activity, much like the closed corporate intranets that gained popularity two decades ago.

Large online merchants like Amazon, the government, healthcare providers or other large organizations will no longer tolerate criminal assaults on their and their stakeholders’ data and resources. As such, as security measures like multi-factor authentication evolve, they will increasingly be adopted by these organizations and passed onto consumers as a condition of access.

As a society, we accept controls when the cost of not having them becomes greater than the restrictions they impose. We see this trend as an inevitable consequence of the growing security threats affecting not only networks but the individuals that transact with them.

By 2025, the world will store 200 Zettabytes (one trillion gigabytes) of data. The accompanying growth in transactions leaves us no other choice but to tighten identity and access controls.

One pathway might divide the web into one open, but inherently risky, internet and one closed, controlled, regulated and inherently untrusting one where security and privacy dominate.

I lean left politically and this shit scares me that they will actually try to remove the open internet, the scary part is the article actually explains how it is very possible, they'll just make for example Netflix only use their regulated version of the internet then the users will follow.

I've seen it many times, people say they like Trump but they think he's over the top with the Tweets and creating dumb controversy, but they personally support most of his political decisions (for example maybe they support his immigration policies).

For myself, I may lean left but I think for myself and form my own opinions on things. Government trying to regulate the internet is something I'm strongly against.

But I have other things from the left spectrum that I strongly believe in like taxing the rich, I am against anyone owning guns not for hunting in my country, I am against religion being involved in Government (something the US can't seem to figure out), etc.

But I am also for capitalism because I can appreciate how independent business without too much regulation can create good jobs for people.

So not everyone is so damn partisan that they agree blindly with one political party or politician, some people like to think for themselves, doesn't mean they can't lean a certain way though.


And why the fugg are people posting in here saying they haven't read anything and aren't going to? Why even say anything if you have nothing to add to the conversation?  That used to get people warnings on HF for LQP.
