Going online without understanding the basics of how the internet works is like getting behind the wheel without knowing the road rules: you might still get where you’re going, but you could be a danger to yourself and those around you.
Using the internet is now a daily activity for most Australians. Yet, the number of people who actually understand the internet’s mechanics is small. Government and schools do work to promote cyber security and cyber safety, but the message is still not getting widespread attention.
Ultimately there is only so much that government or businesses can do to keep us safe online. At a certain point, we need to take personal responsibility and educate ourselves about how to use the internet safely.

You, sir, are a terrorist. Or as your kind were known a hundred years ago, an anarchist. Why won't you obey the jackboot?

I like to think of myself as very much anti-terrorism and my "freedom list" above supports that notion. But, I think you drove home my point (on purpose) and showed that a single concept can simultaneously yield polar opposite words. :)
