Unplug the Internet: No President should have this power

http://digg.com/d1nri0

The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 introduced in the Senate would allow the president to shut down private Internet networks. The legislation also calls for the government to have the authority to demand security data from private networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule or policy restricting such access.

We wanted change. We got change.

Big Brother is watching.

When doing something questionable, just use a SSH tunnel. Oh and they can go to hell :)

Hey now, Obama didn't specify "good" change...

Looks like they wants to do something bad, really bad.

It's impossible to shutdown the internet.

Attempts to shut it down will just result in people making their own networks free from regulation.

If worst comes to worst, I doubt he'll be re elected.

You guys are taking this way out of context. Obama didn't put the bill forward, as far as I can google up some guy named Sherwood Boehlert did.BadassZetta

That's what I was talking about in the start of the thread.

The law gives him the power to shut down private servers.

That's what I was thinking, and I know the second part would never stand up in the surpreme court.

Come on, guys! No need to worry! We can always build a new internet if we lose this one! :D

You mean you guys can really take away the rights of citizens?

Obama: "Yes we can! Its a change you can believe in!"

Who said I agreed with the Patriot Act? Bush was a moron as well. If you come to terms with the fact that these so called 'public servants' are trying to screw you, all will be right with the world.

PEOPLE WAKE UP!!! The government has been planning these movements for years. We can't allow them to do this. If they put the plug on the internet everyone would resort to the lies seen on the television news. They are tyrannical bastards and will go to hell for what they are doing to this country. The next step after this would be to start WORLD WAR 3. "RESIST AND UNITE" to take them DOWN!!!

Apparently the Constitution is not relevant to him. You get what you vote for....

I agree, I think this will be shot down quickly.
