Lots of interesting ideas on the total protection of freedom to broadcast on the web, Feross, but where does security fit in - how do you feel about phishing & viruses being transmitted online? Isn't there a very good reason to stop cyber crime? Isn't a criminal's freedom to commit crimes online egregious? If freedom is literally total, won't crime run even more rampant because it's their "right" to perpetrate it, or do you see this as an apples & oranges situation? If you see the 2 as totally unrelated, please explain why.
