Re: public shame...?
The only reason any industry ever tries to offer "self-regulation" is to preserve the power to do what the legislators propose to forbid.
The argument that a law is "unnecessary" because the proposed targets are supposedly going to behave is obviously illogical. If they aren't going to do X, then they won't be affected by a prohibition of X. If they object to a prohibition of X, it can only be because they want to do X.
BTW, the likes of Phorm and Nebu-ad - which offer ISPs a share of profits if the ISPs let the companies spy on the ISP's customers and sell targeted advertising - these companies' business model features not only wiretapping, but forgery as well - they actually tamper with data on its way to or from the web users.
Making such conduct subject to fines is not enough - it should be a felony. |
