alecm, “Could there be an internet where Tesco, Amazon, Netflix, BBC, airlines, banking etc work well but there are major changes elsewhere?” | child-safety activists ask for a read-only internet
In a sense this is one of the scariest things I’ve read, because it demands removing interactivity and freedom of the user’s voice from the internet; we would be permitted retail and other “consumer” services, and denied anything which might enable user-to-user communications on the grounds that it might harm children, or footballers, or similar.
It’s doubly ironic because the author — child-safety activist John Carr — is running and writing on an independent blog, and one can only wonder who he asked permission to do so?
Could there be an internet where Tesco, Amazon, Netflix, BBC, airlines, banking etc work well but there are major changes elsewhere because the public and Governments get fed up of the criminal and other forms abuse linked with various interactive elements? I think there could.
