Can somebody tell me the difference between a remote controlled "model airplane" and a.. remote controlled "drone"?
It seems to me that everything becomes scarier when executed by "drone"s. (like it matters to the people being blown up where the actual pilot sits 50km away)
Just because you're not using it to actually send tweets or follow people
Well, I couldn't describe what "fake" would mean better. Perhaps I could hack facebook's authentication to let me in without a valid account, that would be fake enough for you?
Also: you don't give any personal information out by creating an account, only when you use it to it's intended purpose (find me on facebook: Vasas Elemér. You won't know me any more then you do now.). As to IP tracking: that's not worse than a tracking cookie. Boo fuckin hoo.
Also: Regardless, I think it's time for UK ISPs to begin developing sophisticated algorithms capable of filtering out David Cameron's bad ideas from the public discourse.
Every engineer worth his salt already has the solution in his pockets: duct tape. The stronger, the merrier.
So you say you have to have the digital equivalent of passport and visa to access the "USA internet" from a far away location?
The infrastructure of the internet is (of course) owned by different countries, but the core design of the internet don't support separation by countries the way you suppose.
You don't normally know or have control over the route of the packets you send and receive, it can cross multiple countries on it's way without affected by the fact (apart from apparently certain countries like to sniff everything...). It's not like you travel by car from Germany to Russia.
If you want your network to be part of the internet, you must have to adhere to certain rules, and these rules and organizations should be independent from any country.
The real problem is that this "protection" would be circumvented in a blink of an eye, so they'll rely on some crappy copyright BS, which is unlawful to crack.
The real problem is that there is bullshit like owning ideas.

Geo-restrictions on the internet
There is no (should be no) "US internet" or "Australian internet", the internet is a... well, *GASP* international net.
It, and it's infrastructure, maintenance and overseer organizations should be sovereign entities protected by the UN, NATO, whatever.
