Another Internet

Patrick Dempsey has an interesting article explaining why we need to create another more secure internet. He explains that the internet has become a haven for cybercriminals so this seems to be the only solution. I agree that cybercrime is a major problem and since it almost always crosses international boundaries it's become a major challenge for law enforcement. I think that there are better ways to go about solving this problem than creating a whole new internet. Even if it were possible to create another more secure internet what would happen when criminals figure out how to get around its' security. It would be better to start by trying to fix a few things that are wrong with our current internet. The real problem though maybe just that law enforcement is not evolving fast enough in order to keep ahead of all the new criminal exploits brought about by the growth of the internet.
