We will lose the Internet
Julio Daio Borges

"Cyberspace is 'debasing itself in front of our eyes,' said Bruce Sterling, a science fiction author. Mr. Sterling, who sees the Internet becoming a pit of spam and swindles, pornography, corporate advertising and government surveillance, warns, 'We will lose the Internet if we don't save it.'

"'Every industry has its charlatans, and e-commerce is getting its share,' said Safa Rashtchy, an analyst with U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray. 'I don't see evidence that it is more than you would expect, especially in a new industry.'

"'I don't see people getting rich,' said Maria, who spoke on the condition that her full name not be used. 'I see people getting burned' by their own inexperience and crushed by so-called chargebacks - cancellations of credit card charges by consumers."
