"How would you feel if the president of the United States had the ability to turn off access to the internet in the United States under the guise of a serious security emergency. A new 197 page bill (Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, or PCNAA) sponsored by Connecticut senator Joe Lieberman would give the president a "kill switch" and force broadband providers, search engines and other web-based companies to comply with orders to shut down services. Those that do not comply under this new bill would be fined."

Actually the Dem and Rep proposed it before, it was massively unpopular and it was killed. Now Joe Leiberman is trying to push a similar measure through with their support.

A copy of the bill should be pitchforked through his office door with the words "NO" written on it.

Agreed

Paraphrasing, "Those who would give up a little liberty to gain a little security deserve neither and are sure to lose both." -Benjamin Franklin

I just can't imagine any "national emergency" that would merit restricted access to the internet. And how is cyberspace a national asset? It is the world wide web, is it not?

...also agree here. There be some disturbing changes going on out there for some time now.

That bullshit goes along with this bullshit as well

even though this goes back a few

years,it will more than likely hit us

later in the future,when, who knows.

Although the sheeple will embrace this bullshit

thinking it will protect them when actually it

will imprison them.

1984 getting closer and closer.
