Re: Shoot the messenger NOW ! (internet regulation) ...

I wonder if there were any similar stupid knee jerk examples in history when, for example, morse code, the telephone, or even the automobile was first used indirectly for a criminal activity.

The TV media don't help matters. I get sick of these old fuddyduddy journalists and presenters who often have to pause and put a daft expression on their face when they have to read out an email or web address. An expression that says, "that daft geeky internet thingummyjig that I'm too thick to understand and use".

There is more good than bad on the internet and yet it is always the lowest common denominator that gets the media attention.
