eG8

A couple of weeks ago, the worlds Internet moguls met their political counterparts in Paris. The event was an unusual prelude to the customary G8 affair to be held in further "from the madding crowd" in the resort of Dauville.
The meeting unfolded as expected, advocates of net freedom upbraiding politicians for even thinking of regulating, It was fun to see the incurably T-shirted Zuck wearing a suit for once  and shaking hands with überbureaucrat  Sarkozy. He did not miss a beat, once interviewed in his habitual accoutrements, to stress that politicians cannot have it both ways: regulate the channels that brought about the Arab spring thanks to being unregulated.
That was a good point, but like any potent line there is more to it beneath the veneer of rhetorical efficacy.
One of the most worrisome points is that the Internet is in fact already quite regulated, be it by governments, ICANN, or, more powerfully, the de facto gatekeepers such as Google and Zuck's own baby.

On the other hand, the internet is quite anarchic, or better hackocratic. I always considered SecureID's
 the entry point of professional-grade security, but it too got hacked, hacked at the source, namely its manufacturer, RSA.
Once again, a powerful reminder that no system can be completely secured. If your trusted security token is no longer trusted, how secure are the data mines that Big Buy Brother hoards on us are?
