Submission + - Internet security moving toward "white list (www.cbc.ca)
ehud42 writes: "According to Symantec, "Internet security is headed toward a major reversal in philosophy, where a 'white list' which allows only benevolent programs to run on a computer will replace the current 'black list' system" as described in this article on the CBC. The article mentions some issues with fairness to whose program is 'safe' including a comment that judges need to be impartial to open source programs which can change quite rapidly. Would this work? The effort to maintain black lists is becoming so daunting that white lists may be an effective solution."

Well in good old Aussie we have such strict privacy laws you can't even get your own information. However, that does not stop the government from getting all your financial info for their tax records. Guess what - they're exempt! So you would not want to try suing in Australia, because you never want to get between a government and a fast buck.
