News / Mozilla leader worries that legal restrictions could limit Internet growth
The person responsible for the FireFox web browser that currently had more than 350 million users worldwide has said thart she has concerns about legal restrictions and how that could affect Internet expansion which in turn could have consequences for small business in Canada and the kind of Canadian government grants that are available. "You suddenly become liable for anything that gets downloaded, whether it's legal or not," Mitchell Baker has said. "If you said to a municipality, if you build a road, you have to guarantee nothing illegal happens on it - that's what's happening on the Internet now. So that's the kind of regulatory disruption that's going to have some long-term consequences." Limited Internet growth could have consequences for the requirements for the kinds of free government business grants that the average small business owner can apply for and get on the Internet.
