Upshifter Report post Posted December 2, 2010 As we move closer to totalitarianism, I wonder how much spyware originates from our own government, and from foreign countries? Control freaks have a hard time controlling the internet; they might as well be herding cats. So, if there are new restrictions on the internet, as the politicians are always talking about doing, then it seems to me that Big Brother will have to develop more, and more powerful, spyware. What do you think? I didn't submit this topic for a political discussion, or argument, but more about functional aspects of the internet, and what we will see in the future. Thank you.

As long as there is a buck to be made, and people fall for the rogues, then infections aren't going anywhere. Even if the authorities had the resources and knowledge to find a rogue perpetrator, the chances of conviction are slim to none. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
