‘It was a good discussion about the various threats that are facing the internet today, and what’s being done about them.’

absolutely nothing and in my humble opinion, because the governments hate the fact that people can talk to each other in seconds, half way round the world. it’s fine when there is something being decied, but when it’s showing up a government how it really is, it’s hated! and the worst governments are the same governments that are saying that the only way to beat terrorism is to have constant surveillance of everyone and everything, everywhere! these are the democratic governments! they are doing things that are worse than the things they were condemning other countries like N.Korea and China for doing! but the aim is the same. to control news and therefore control the people! under no circumstances can behaving the same or worse than terrorists (surveillance of everything) be classed as fighting terrorism! losing (read ‘taking away’) the peoples rights to freedom, freedom of speech and privacy be worth what is left, because once the governments have taken them away, there is more chance of finding a man eating chicken with a sucker instead of a mouth!!
this has all come about because of the completely self-interested view of the USA government and the security forces. after the disgraceful happenings on 9/11, there was paranoia which is as strong today as then, but it is destroying the USA and all the countries that are friends of it, the worst one being the UK which has become so incensed with stopping terrorism it is implementing that same effect on its own people! how the hell can that be right? how can that save anyone? how can it be justified, when millions died preserving the very things held most dear, more precious than anything, freedom and privacy! we are on a downward spiral, people, it’s gonna take some truly drastic event to get us out of it!!
