Should IoT vendors be told what to do by the government? [VIDEO]
Earlier this week we wrote about a law that the US Congress just proposed with the intriguing name of The Internet of Things (IoT) Cybersecurity Improvement Act.

Even if you are generally an opponent of government intervention in IT and the internet, it’s hard not to have sympathy with that point of view.
