John Ashcroft Speaks Out on Computer Crime (2004)

[trugreenguy]

I think that the government is going to come up with there own "Vaccination" for every computer in a America and the World.  It will be a mandatory piece of software installed on your computer and you won't even know it's there. However there are problems with this, do you trust the Government not to control what sites you can see? Do you really want your own government know exactly what you are doing on the internet at all times? Then don't let the FCC or any new org they dream up do it.

We will no longer have a world wide free internet. Think about competition as well, there will be no reason for anyone to make other antivirus program, so you'll no longer have a choice in your own security. If a hacker can hack now he will hack then and he will hack it (The vaccine) and NOBODY will be protected. It will come down to one single hacker who can crack the governments code and take down the entire intenet. It will be called Cyber Terrorism.

FUCK YOU!!! if your to stupid to set up a computer security and dont know how to protect yourself from "computer crime" then you deserve to learn your lesson... BRING ON THE HATE COMMENTS!!! it restricts advancement??? wtf... it advances anti-virus and anti-hacker software so thats not entirely true... 2) if you get hacked then i guess you didnt hire a good IT guy... thats what you get for not knowing who your hireing
