1 edit | Re: Security Absurdity: A long-overdue wake up call No Ford does not have to make sure you know how to drive. But they do have to provide a safe vehicle.
Manufactures and service providers are responsible for the safety of their products and services when used as intended. That goes for ISPs as well. If they knowingly permit bots to operate on their network, they can and should be held liable for damages to their customers.
No the biggest problem is not the USER. Just like with vehicles, it is unrealistic to expect the consumer to know all the possible problems with the product or service. It is the providers responsibility to notify their customer of such issues. The provider is supposedly after all the “expert” on their products and services.
By the way, it’s interesting you selected to make an analogy using Ford with the Explorer / Firestone tire issue so recent. |
