Lacking

What is lacking then is a solution that will automatically put in place steps to safeguard the average user. while give those that require a great level of access an opt-out(disable) option.

John, I agree that the "for the greater good" approach isn't ideal and could be considered somewhat archaic in todays "always-on" society. Rather that skipping around the problem, it need to be tackled head on, enabling everyone to enjoy their online experience.
