Again, is socially all right to kill children by remotely controlled
robots, but not social enough to open your internet connection,
because 0.00000001% of society is sick and there is 0.00000001% of
chance, someone not from organized crime (as organized crime has and
always will have free internet access) to use your connection to do -
and to do exactly what? What exactly can be acted "criminally" - as, I
hope, all sensitive government networks are not connected to the
internet?
