> We have the ability to protect ourselves and we should be using it.
I don't doubt that the technology exists, I just doubt the ability of the average person to be able to protect themselves. As someone who works in a technical field with decent computer literacy, I still have a hard time approaching this problem. Perhaps I'm just not as literate as I think I am.
Any appeal to morals/integrity/laws are essentially moot in this area. We have the ability to protect ourselves and we should be using it.
