Jura, that first link about the web vigilante is acclimating the public with the concept of policing themselves. They're showing you that it's perfectly fine to police your neighbors and the rest of society. But the big one is that it's ok to police the web. I mean what if this chick turns out to be a planted agency decoy? Then how will these "vigilantes" feel? You think they'll feel tricked or cheated? What about the idea that someone is still watching them? Even using them to do their work for them? They say in a police state, there's little use for a police force. Very interesting article, thanks. -timandvic
