Obama Internet "Kill Switch" Bill Approved


-Tib3-

Recommended Posts

The US senators pushing a controversial new bill that some fear would give President Barack Obama the powers to seize control of and even shut down the internet have rejected claims it would give Obama a net "kill switch".

 

The bill, titled Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, has been unanimously approved by the US Homeland Security committee and will be put to a vote on the Senate floor shortly....

Regardless the US shutting down their servers wouldnt be all that great for the rest of us.

 

Totally. If it DID happen, it would fuck shit up. But it wont be the end of the world. The internet would still be there. You might just have to switch to hardcore German porn.

fucking hell nothing is sacred anymore, im pretty sure they are going to start legislating for there to be a tax on the air or some shit.

 

why the fuck are they concerned about the internet so damned much? I find it hilarious that the us is making moves to possibly censor something that they condemn other countries for doing.
