Mozilla leader worried about Internet restrictions

Thomas De Maesschalck Posted on by
Mozilla leader Mitchell Baker has expressed concern that legal restrictions may limit the expansion of the Internet:
Mitchell Baker said she worried about "the increase in laws that make it difficult to run an open network," especially rules about content.

"You suddenly become liable for anything that gets downloaded, whether it's legal or not," she said. "If you said to a municipality, if you build a road, you have to guarantee nothing illegal happens on it — that's what's happening on the Internet now. So that's the kind of regulatory disruption that's going to have some long-term consequences."
