2 articles about Internet threats

I found two articles today, both dealing with Internet threats. The first is from Wired and is a good list of threats on the Internet.   Top Internet Threats: Censorship to Warrantless Surveillance

I must say that the Government Censorship is the most threatening threat of all.  One the examples in the article is about Australian government.

On Thursday, a secret blacklist surfaced detailing 2,395 webpages the Australian government is planning to filter from the internet.

One “funny” observation: The article mention the Utah-based Mormon anti-porn crusaders toward the creation of a new “Cybersafety Constituency”. Take a look in this study about who is buying most porn online:
Porn in the USA: Conservatives are the biggest consumers

Utah is the state that buy most porn.  What we see here is an example of humans reaction on control.

All this is in line with my previous post monitoring, legislative changes and control

BTW, On Monday Tuesday I will give the right answer to the poll in my previous post. I have to force my friends to vote so I get some more voters first! In the meantime why not give your answer to the poll
