Tired of the perverts, hate mongers and other assorted weirdos on the Internet? Libertarian think tank Cato Institute has a simple suggestion: Give each of these groups its own parallel Internet or "splinternet," so everyone can do what they want without disturbing or offending anyone else. Clyde Wayne Crews, the new director of technology studies at the Cato Institute, is pushing the idea. He says with splinternets there would be less need for government regulation and people could do what they really want, to be connected to other people like themselves. But who would define these groups and what if someone "different" wanted to join?
