The Illuminated Web?
An illuminated web, to run alongside the existing web, where everyone connected, every device and every device location, is properly registered and identifiable. Meaning children, adults and elderly people can use it safely and with confidence.
Potential Trouble: Crime is usually committed in the hope that it will go undetected and unpunished. Of course, the perpetrators of criminal activity don't want to get caught; on the internet, they can easily cover their tracks and remain anonymous, as they get up to no good. The internet is extremely useful but, currently, also a minefield of criminal activity and potential trouble for children and decent people in this world.
Forces Of Darkness: Where there is an absence of light, criminals can very easily operate unseen. Many people of all ages, as well as notable businesses, have fallen victim to scamming, blackmail, sextortion, fraud and theft, etc. It is very difficult for the police to do anything about this growing problem with the current internet setup, because of the fact that criminals can operate without being identified.
Illuminated Web: An illuminated web would require everyone connected to it to be identifiable, traceable and accountable, registered with a set of unique identifiers. The system would have to know exactly who you are and where you are. Otherwise, you would not be able to connect. For those that need to carry out covert activities, such as when trying to combat forces of evil, there would still be the existing dark web.
ID Important! We are always told we should not physically let people into our homes without identification. However, currently, anyone can enter your home electronically, over the phone line, or via the internet, without providing identification. Criminals are themselves a form of virus. It may not be possible to eradicate them completely, but we can isolate them and keep them away from infecting and affecting the rest of us!
Safe Haven: An illuminated web would dramatically reduce or eradicate the problems we currently face when using the internet, making it a safe haven for children and decent adults to enjoy! Most people don't have anything to hide, or a need to remain anonymous when using the internet, and therefore, just as when you connect to your bank, would much rather be able to connect to a safe internet, with confidence.
No Place! In any decent society, everyone must be accountable. There is no place for those who want to hide away so they can misbehave and cause problems for others without being held accountable. Young people, nowadays, have a mantra that we frequently hear, "No face, no case!" In reality, everyone has to learn it's more a case of, "No face, no place!" As those who want to hide in the dark, will yet come to discover!
