I have been thinking of the whole responsibility factors that go into the internet...there are none for those that haven't followed along lately. You can post anything under any name and get away with it. You can create viruses that harm and do so much bad and get away with it. There is no responsibility to what you do on the internet.
Granted Social media is changing that, somewhat. But you can still fake everything and get away with anything under you screen name as long as you don't tie them together.
What I want to see is IPv6 addresses given out to us like SSNs. Maybe a block of addresses for the multiple devices you would carry. Granted this is far from the norm but think of it. We use these addresses everywhere. With BYOD going ramped in 2 years your company will likely make you bring your own device to connect to corporate. Each device you own you have a IPv6 addresses tied to it and cannot change (kind of like a MAC but without the ability to change it...ex.MAC cloning)
think of the responsibility that happens. No one gets away from doing something against the law. Everything you do leads a trace back to you. You are responsible for everything you type and look up. I can hear some people begin to get worried....something along the lines of "but the the government knows where I am always and I have no privacy..." Privacy is an issue. That is why before we do this there are ground rules....like there should have been when the internet was created...
I can also hear the "what if I get my IPv6 stolen, I lose my ID..." yes that is how it is with SSN...why is this such a threat? At any rate yes SSN fraud is horrible and happens a lot. With IPv6 however if there is something stolen or you suspect it stolen there is a trace back to what has happened. It's like a paper trail without any break in the trail...
