This is quite important, since both regulators seem to want a piece of the online safety pie.

i am still mystified by govt agencies that *want* to play with the nuclear waste that is online safety...

it reminds me of the US army corp of engineers tables that detailed what level of effectiveness soldiers would have with various levels of exposure to radiation before they succumbed to the effects.

there is no "win" here. just how much damage is done before that next futile attempt dies.
