Let's put it this way.
1. If you host government agencies, provide connectivity to say a
nuclear power plant or an army base, or a bank or .. .. - you'd
certainly work with your customers to meet their security
requirements.
2. If you are a service provider serving up DSL - why then, there are
some governments (say Australia) that have blacklists of child porn
sites - and I think Interpol came up with something similar too. And
yes there's CALEA and a few other such things .. not much more that's
new.
Separating rhetoric and military metaphors will help you see this a
lot more clearly. As will not dismissing the entire idea with
contempt.
As a service provider for anything at all, you'll see your share of attacks=
.
Whether coordinated by 4chan or by comrade joe chan shouldnt really
matter, except at the level where you work with law enforcement etc to
coordinate a response that goes beyond the technical. [And ALL
responses to these are not going to restrict themselves to being
solvable by technical means].
