Abstract

Given such phenomena as the dramatic leaks of the last decade, the vibrantand inflammatory discourse about 'cyberwar' and the conflation of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement with the 'backbone of the European economy', regulation of what the Internet is supposed to be and what people are allowed to do in it is always and everywhere about security, whether users like it or not. And that regulation comes from people, special people we like to think of as experts.
