Regulation for the Internet?

Regulations must be introduced into the management of the Internet, to defend it against cyber criminals, says Kaspersky Lab CEO Eugene Kaspersky.

Kaspersky insists that the internet is now far too important to global economies for it to remain largely unregulated. “if I were designing the internet from scratch, I would factor regulation into it from the ground up,” he says, “the same as were have on any other public network, where the fact that every user has registered ID is the norm.”

Kaspersky wants to see an ‘Internet government’ that would manage such controls, and administer ‘Internet passports’ for all online users. He also favours and ‘Internet Interpol’ that would co-ordinate regional and international law enforcement on the Web.
