Mmmm, Bye Bye Kaspersky

[Omniscient]

I have expressed the exact same sentiment for years now. Anonyminity is ruining the internet imho. Scammers, con artists, viruses, spammers and every criminal element possible leeches onto the web. It would all be stopped if you had a special connection code verifying your identity.

A website can have the option to require it or not imho. An apache module matched with browser authentication would be perfect. Sort of like SSL where a secure handshake is required but it will have verified personal information that the website owner can verify.

"You could make the same argument about the offline world," said Matt Zimmerman, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "You know, every purchase you make should be tracked, we should ban the use of cash, we should put cameras up everywhere because in that massive data collection something might be collected to help someone. But we think privacy is an important enough countervailing value that we should prevent that."

Bullshit. Because you can't walk around in the real world with a mask on. You would get kicked out of any store immediately. Websites are for the most part commercial entities and as such should be given the option of disallowing access to anyone anonymous. Unfortunately the internet is not setup this way but I can tell you that I fully believe this will happen because of the huge criminal element that already exists.

Uninstallation, complete.

Did you have a paid license? If not then his point is made and so is mine. You're a criminal. Don't be shocked by my statement either. I have always been a white hat and against anonyminity in it's current form. In almost all my sites I use Labrocca as my handle since it's my last name.
