You forget that the internet-services are based on best-effort. Anything
else will require accountability for everyone involved. That is
accountability going both ways so that users also can be held
accountable for *all* their actions. To achieve that you'll have to toss
any idea of anonymity for internet users. Wonder if that is what those
who complain about restricive AUPs really want ;)
Besides, whose authorities should do excactly what? Global legislation
for the internet is just about as big an illusion as the "new economy"
the internet once was assumed to create.
