In some mail from Richard M. Smith, sie said: [...]
"But perhaps the most controversial suggestion came from John Schwarz, president and COO of antivirus firm Symantec, who called for legislation to criminalize the sharing of information and tools online that can be used by malicious hackers and virus writers."
[...] Yet another example of people wanting to censure more and more (and the USA seems to have a higher level of censorship than some other western nations) despite the principal of "freedom of speech". Go figure. I suppose the COO will just have to find an angle for his argument about how this protects children and/or combats terrorism.
