That video "Cleannet", seems a bit too sugary and over simplistic and I'm not sure it got the point it was making across. For me, it advocated crude censorship like they have in Iran, North Korea and other non-democratic countries.
BTW, how do you get the video link to vanish from your post after the video has been viewed?
Anyway, I do agree with your sentiment:

However, just like no one has the right to come into your home uninvited but you know they will if you do not lock your front and back doors and all your windows.
Likewise, your PC is just like your home so that when you surf the Internet you must also insure that your PC, as far as possible, is locked down with protective apps.
You see, I envisage a PC on the Internet is like a home on a main road/street. If the the lights in that home are all turned on, the doors and windows open then uninvited guest will come in, do what they like and take what they want.
Well, an unprotected PC on the Internet is just like that home on the main road with all it's lights on with it's doors and windows open.
