So who do you trust?
The human element comes in every time. At least with the Government there's some control and it's written down.
Self regulation would work, if the human element didn't result in scum taking over.
The problem is simple. For the Internet to fulfill it's true potential it will need control of some sort. With none the scum take it over and bring it down. Spam, viruses, fraud, theft, subjects that children should not have access to, piracy, etc.
People not trusting this wonderful tool, having to monitor their children, not feeling safe spending money online, having the worry of scum bags infecting a piece of their property. And more.
It has to be stopped.
