Obama wants control of the internet.

A Senate bill would offer President Obama emergency control of the Internet and may give him a "kill switch" to shut down online traffic by seizing private networks -- a move cybersecurity experts worry will choke off industry and civil liberties.

Details of a revamped version of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 emerged late Thursday, months after an initial version authored by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V., was blasted in Silicon Valley as dangerousgovernment intrusion.

"In the original bill they empowered the president to essentially turn off the Internet in the case of a 'cyber-emergency,' which they didn't define," said Larry Clinton, president of the Internet Security Alliance, which represents the telecommunications industry.

"We think it's a very bad idea ... to put in legislation," he told FOXNews.com.

Clinton said the new version of the bill that surfaced this week is improved from its first draft, but troubling language that was removed was replaced by vague language that could still offer the same powers to the president in case of an emergency.

Thats right, your elected president wants to take the internet, a freedom if you will, away from you. This could happen when ever he considers something a cyber attack. What is with the Government control of the Obama administration? I enjoy all my freedoms and i feel like everyday Obama and his admin take one away. 2012 cant come sooner...

Hes not going to get it.

More libertarian than anything. I don't particularly like President Obama, but he's not the anti-christ that some make him out to be. Also, I like to watch Fox news for entertainment value (the other stations are so boring, and that's why they lose so bad in the ratings) but I wouldn'tever trust its reporting.

DO YOU PEOPLE EVEN UNDERSTAND THE BASIS TO WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT?? YOUR FREEDOMS! Their being stripped away and most of you dont even care. Some of you are just watching them go, expecting the government to spoon feed you. I wondered how this kinda stuff was happening but now i understand, theirs just so many of you that are misinformed.

theirs just so many of you that are misinformed. Kokuro_Kun

I don't know whether it's the writer of that article or the writer of the bill, but someone along the line there appears to have no idea what "the Internet" is, and I find that much more irksome than this bill, which unsurprisingly comes from Lieberman, the resident Senatorial troll.

Where was i to complain you say? Where was i to defend my self as an American Citizen enjoying the laws the founding fathers handed us so that we may enjoy a life without control by the government. Marshall Law wouldn't come into effect unless we got into a war on our grounds. I would gladly let people offering their lifes for me to use my home. I'm proud to have such people fight for me.Kokuro_Kun
