  • Wow, you’re just trying to stir up shit, huh?

    Let me quote myself so you can see just how terrible your reading comprehension is.

    We need to work together on a global scale to hold countries accountable for what their citizens do on the internet.

    Did I mention barring anyone from the internet? Nope. Sure didn’t. What I said was that countries need to be held accountable for what their citizens do on a global scale when it comes to the internet just like they are in any other situation. I’m not saying only other counties. I’m not saying only African countries. So, please, take your bullshit and go feed it to someone else, because I don’t have the patience for it.


  • When we created the internet we achieved global unity, but we just… stopped. There is no NATO for cybercrimes. We can’t punish across borders, and we can’t rely on countries where cybercrime is a not insignificant portion of their economy to do the right thing. At this point the best we can do is bar the doors and keep children and other vulnerable people off the internet, but that is hardly a proper solution. We need to work together on a global scale to hold countries accountable for what their citizens do on the internet. If we don’t, we might as well just pull the plug on it, because this shit has only been getting worse.







  • I have what I thought was a fairly unique name, but it turns out the combination of my first and last name is culturally common, and so while there aren’t many people with my last name, the ones that do have it often share my first name. I learned this when I looked myself up as a kid. I found a lot of us on Facebook and started a group. It was still going strong when I deleted my Facebook account.

    Edit: I don’t want to dox myself, but my name is Fartin McFartface, however my friends call me Farty.
