TFA does not suggest or imply that anonymity anywhere breeds terrorism. It does say that those who try to monitor or limit terrorist activities face difficult challenges because virtual worlds like Second Life introduce "... novel ways for terrorists and criminals to move money, organize and conduct corporate espionage." That's so obvious and true it hardly rates an article, much less a./ thread.
Who spanks posters who use inflammatory and misleading headlines?
fta, "...If the remote user begins to view illegal material, their access can be limited in several ways, such as allowing access to text only. In extreme cases, Mr. Villeneuve said, people found with evidence of illegal activity on their computer would be able to prove through forensic analysis that it had been done by the remote user...."
I am not a lawyer. However, I am pretty sure that:
1) If you load a program onto your PC intending to give access to the program to total strangers in another country, AND
2) those strangers use your computer to do illegal things, AND
3) your government finds evidence of those illegal things on your computer,
THEN, you will find that you are guilty of crimes yourself and not protected by your naive wish to help the poor repressed masses of (fill in the dictatorship).
Look up "due diligence" along with "personal responsibility" for an eye-opening revelation.
