[kictanet] ICT Authority to weed out quacks

Thu Dec 1 18:30:29 EAT 2016

I believe regulation should only be present where there is a limited,
shared resource that might be subject to abuse. Short of having a set of
rules: don't test an EMP in a built up area, don't access government
servers even if their passwords are admin, admin. Don't give the
president's number on twitter, etc etc etc. That is progressive
legislation.
