policing the net - spot the flaw

'Convicted paedophiles may be required to provide their email address to the police, who will give it to social networking sites like MySpace and require them to ban the offender.
'


lads, you're missing the point.

Email Addresses are two a penny today....

but reading between the lines and a bit of creative thought....

perhaps the plan in the future is to register email addresses to their owners like cars and houses, have a government department supplying email address only under licensed name spaces eg companies, hotmail, etc which to generate an email address require ID and proof of address etc

and voila, any email address not in a registered namespace and not carrying the registered digital signature will be captured by the ISP and not able to complete it's journey

tell me I am wrong

Aye, and linked to someone else's fingerprints in the ID card databse.

It's already happening here, sort of. I have my own mail server, but to save lots of dosh I changed to an ISP and plan which only gives dynamic IP addresses. As a result of the vast amounts of spam coming from zombied PCs, an awful lot of folks are now blocking e-mails which originate from dynamic addresses.

Net result: I have already been forced to route non-web e-mails through my ISP. Where I am registered of course, and logged.

Question: What is the real reason behind all that nonsense spam?

Somehow I fell that those who thought up this idea don't know much about the internet.

or much about paedos. Apparently after operation Ore, or whatever it was called, when they bagged thousands of paedophiles from credit card payments, dozens of the critters _knowing_ they'd already been rumbled, simply carried on using the same cards to pay for more kiddie porn images.

That's how compulsive they are - It's a form of madness really, when taken to extremes. (Sort of like PC gaming )

According to a prog on the beeb last night, they kept on using those credit cards because they were not actualy their cards to start with.

God, I can barely believe it - First there's every sign ATW was right about widespread nationalization of Banks, even in the US, and now barely a week later Milan might also be right.

My world is falling apart
