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.
