From: avalon at caligula.anu.edu.au (Darren Reed) Subject: Symantec wants to criminalize security info sharing In some mail from Richard M. Smith, sie said: [...] > "But perhaps the most controversial suggestion came > from John Schwarz, president and COO of antivirus > firm Symantec, who called for legislation to criminalize > the sharing of information and tools online that can be > used by malicious hackers and virus writers." [...] Yet another example of people wanting to censure more and more (and the USA seems to have a higher level of censorship than some other western nations) despite the principal of "freedom of speech". Go figure. I suppose the COO will just have to find an angle for his argument about how this protects children and/or combats terrorism. Darren
