WTH? Why is a corporation playing police???? What is next? google "officials" arresting people? xD

TieSKey:

I completely agree with that, what I find alarming is the deep involvement of a corporation. It should have been done by a estate nation (ideally a group of).

I think your perspective on things is slightly skewed.

Mind to elaborate? Thx 😛

Yes. When you see botnets like Necurs as less evil than corporations using their resources to dismantle them and offering law enforcement their expertise + evidence to bring them down. Your argument seems to be that all corporations are evil no matter what they do and that even botnets should not be bothered by them. So yes, I do think your perspective on things is skewed.

Well I can tell u that u completely misunderstood me. I never said the botnet should be "left alone", I never even criticized the action taken, only the actors and their roles. The same way I rather have the federal police taking care of a murder case, I'd like to have a state accountable entity taking care of botnets, not a private corporation. And yes, I do think a corporation is evil by definition, business should never grow big enough or merge to be considered corporations. Capitalism can't work correctly unless we have a lot of economic actors of a relative equal size. The relationship between corporations and oligopolies is incredibly high.
