Hi Rodel,<br><br>You mean, different from the Internet as it is today, right?<br><br>Narelle's point, written in the context of clumsy moves by Governments to control Internet behavior, is that statutes should not discriminate between online and offline activity. That networking is becoming so integral a part of society that there essentially is no need for difference in laws. For example, why introduce broad online censorship in an otherwise free society?<br>
<br>While government sponsored identity systems could be considered clumsy - with ultimate big brother implications, they are opt-in and aimed at protecting citizens from fraud. Similar schemes have already successfully been introduced in certain European countries. What makes you say it will change things so much? You think that, as Hillary Clinton suggested in her Internet Freedom speech earlier in the year, that anonymity is a luxury we may be forced to give up?<br>
