Internet makes resistance futile, Clinton aide warns

Internet makes resistance futile, Clinton aide warns This byline appeared in The Financial Post of July 24, 1997 at the top of the front page. The subsequent article discussed not crypto, but Canadian attempts to regulate television content. Even so, the second paragraph is succinct, and applicable to both debates. "Ira Magaziner, Clinton's international emissary on the issue of how governments should respond to the explosive growth of business on the Net, said any attempt to regulate its content would not only be a mistake, it would be futile." Perhaps someone should get Mr. Magaziner back to Washington to explain this to the administration. Ciao, James jbugden@alis.com Great minds think alike, fools seldom differ.
