Web security company and Russia’s top anti-virus software package, Kaspersky Labs, is publicly calling for and end to online anonymity and the establishment of mandatory ‘Internet passports.’ Eugene Kaspersky explained that originally the internet was not created for public use but rather for American scientists and the US military. He claimed that it should have been changed when introduced to the public. His statement was delivered in an interview in ZDNet Asia this past week.
In addition, Eugene Kaspersky believes that there should be a single and uniform internet police agency, who would issue and enforce the online indentity system.
It is obvious to say that civil liberties advocates are going to speak out against such movements.
