Comment Why do they need consent? (Score 2) 211
My common sense would say that if the user already gave up control of their PC to the botnet, why should they have any say in keeping the feds from removing the bot? The reason the feds are interesting is (I'm assuming) because the botnet caused harm to others. Just remove the bot, if there are consequences, and they know what they are, then it's their own fault.
But, the federal government is held to a higher standard aren't they?
