Internet will be different from what we have now. The global net is split into segments on regional and functional base. Access to the local segment will be a citizen right and essential for living, but access is strictly controlled. Authentication is required and anonymous access doesn’t exist for the „good“-net. Reputation and connections with the virtual social society are fundamental to be able to connect. Attacks on the reputation through public shaming and doxing will lead to exclusion from the net. People pay huge amounts of money when blackmailed, to stay in the net and not loose „everything“. Also criminal activities will be punished by the „disconnect“. Being dropped out of the net makes life difficult and nearly impossible. Criminal subnetworks evolve and a 2-layer society will begin to exist – the global-net and the criminal-net.
