Hollywood legend Dan Aykroyd has claimed the internet is "the devil's gateway".
The 64-year-old actor has revealed he lives in fear of being hacked and thinks people are especially "mean" to others on the web, reported ABC News.
"I don't have a laptop. I don't have an iPhone, and I refuse to carry them because they're immensely hackable. Not that I have any big-bad secrets but sometimes I get defence briefings from people.
"There's some... People are mean on the Internet. It's unbelievable. It really is the devil's gateway. It's the bathroom wall, in its worst way. And in its best way, it's the greatest source we can have to promote freedom and compassion and also a general feeling of mass consciousness which we're going to need to get through the next 10 years.
