If you’re like me you respond with a resounding “No Way!”. Apparently some federally funded researchers want to shut it down and start over. Their reasons are even more disturbing, “at the moment there are loopholes in the system whereby users cannot be tracked and traced all the time.”
Now the internet may be many things and there may be many things wrong with it but it is very important to free speech and education. The fact that they want to shut down the internet because privacy and anonymity is protected in some way is ridiculous. This research is all in preperation of “Internet 2″ which will be highly regulated by the FCC and of course big businesses. The governement and big businesses would like to be able to track your personal information and “Internet 2″ is being planed with that in mind.
