TOPIC: A ‘Kill Switch’ to our INTERNET?

A ‘Kill Switch’ to our INTERNET? 1 year, 10 months ago #913

THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO OWN THE INTERNET AND TURN IT OFF (‘Kill Switch’) AT WILL.

US Senate committee has approved a bill that apparently gives the President authority to shut down the Internet. According to TechWorld.com, "A US Senate committee has approved a wide-ranging cybersecurity bill that some critics have suggested would give the US president the authority to shut down parts of the Internet during a cyberattack."

The report continues by saying, "The bill, introduced earlier this month [by Senators Joe Lieberman, I-Connecticut, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Thomas Carper, D-Delaware], would establish a White House Office for Cyberspace Policy and a National Center for Cybersecurity and Communications, which would work with private US companies to create cybersecurity requirements for the electric grid, telecommunications networks and other critical infrastructure."
