“Government licensing internet” has recently been proposed by Scott Charney, the 
security officer of Microsoft. This proposal was made at the conference held in 
Berlin.

“Government licensing internet” has recently been proposed by Scott Charney, the 
security officer of Microsoft. This proposal was made at the conference held in 
Berlin.
Charney said if “government licensing internet” is initiated the government can 
decide who can use the internet and who cannot. This will save people from 
unsafe programs and malware. Charney further stated the “government licensing 
internet” will be a global protection effort managed by the governments and the 
companies. This will allow the government to organize and follow the computer 
users. This will also enable the government to make the users aware of the 
malware threat and the government will also be able to stop people from 
spreading malwares.
