The bubble of the Internet Dream just burst... Or did it a long time ago? That's the question we're obligated to ask us.

    He [Cameron] said terrorists, paedophiles and criminals must not be allowed a “safe space” online.

Internet isn't a "space". It's a concept, that defines a pretty complex physical environment, consisting of communication protocols, used by an extreme number of people over the world. And because of some individuals, who are playing by some "different" moral and ethics codex, it's far from being "safe". And I'm not talking about hacktivists.

Not "space", Cameron, "knowledge" would be a better word that you should had used. Hiding the truth could be far more effective. It seems to function anyway.

It's absurd.

    In 20 years, the Web might complete its shift from liberator to oppressor. It’s up to us to prevent that.
