"Well, there's a Global Multimedia Protocol Group that sort of runs the place, decides what's allowed and what isn't. Just like on the regular 'net, people try to hack each other and pass around viruses. The GMPG and some other organizations go after those folks, if they can find them, but mostly people just have to be smart and protect themselves with antiviral software. My buddy Hiro runs a security company that makes utilities for that.
"A couple of years ago, this dude named Raven tried to use a weird meme-virus to fry the brains of a bunch of hackers - he had a serious revenge thing going on and wanted to nuke America - but Hiro stopped him, and now makes the vaccine for the meme-virus. That's about the worst kind of crime they ever had in there." YT finishes her coffee and pours some more from the pot.
