Here's to hoping they don't pull the plug on the net anytime soon. *Raises wine glass*

Sure.. got right ahead... RIOT time.

Jesus christ. Why can't the government just let us live. Our founding fathers would never have stood up to this. Unfortunately we don't have a new world to run off too.Coffee_Blade

People honestly expected something different? Honestly? Did nobody pay any attention to the man and his policies and voting records during the election? And now people are surprised. . .

The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 introduced in the Senate

Obama's not a senator...why is everyone attacking him for this? Is there something I'm missing?

And people are saying Obama isn't socialist? Looks like I'm going to have to join the rebellion now. No one messes with my internet. [spoiler] The Supreme Court will never allow this to happen [/spoiler] remmbermytitans

To all of those who are issuing blame to Obama; could you be so kind and show me actual evidence of the Obama Administrations supporting the provision in this bill that allows for the president to shut down private internet networks?

I think its a very small price to pay for the incredible amount of security it can provide our country, i dont see how you can have a problem with it unless your planning terrorist attacks, or hacking the governments databases. You have to realize that as technology gets so advance and threating, you cant keep taking advantage of it without some sort of fail safes.

Obamas already firing CEOs of private companies, its just another step in the direction of change.

People realy need to address the root of the problem, stop voting for dems and republicans. Turd and Douche.

to the idiots who voted for obama.... thank you so much he printed ONE TRILLION DOLLARS(for those of you who dont know thats bad), trying to take away gun rights, trying to take away internet rights and who knows what he will do next.

*Sigh* I give up on American intelligence. Just forget it. Maniacc1

Because they voted for Obama? :lol:

:P

Sounds like a hitler kind of thing.

Its hilarious watching most of the thread go paranoid. But It's not even passed. The senate is the one who made the bill......and I doubtObama is going to pass it.

I don't give a rat's arse who introduced the bill, as long as the bill never comes to be passed, I will be content.

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.

I don't understand why people are attacking Obama... Congress introduced the bill. :?Maniacc1

Luckily I don't live in the USA :P

But I think this is a little bit unfair.

I'm sure someone that worked for Obama talked to a Senator and convinced him to introduce it.remmbermytitans

This is ridicuolous, how much power this man is claiming. It is ruining the very basis of our country, it's constiuton. It only takes one man. I love my country, and this man is ruining it.

If our founding father's knew, they would be turning in their graves.

Yeah, great job being surprised about unconstitutional behaviour by the government. Next thing you're going to be surprised that you never had to pay income tax either.

You people are acting like this will pass. :roll:

Wow see what happens when a country has parties, This is why the founding father said let there be no political parties, MAn America is not very smart. Sadly i live in this country and most of the people have no clue what the government is really doing. I will not be surprised if this bill passes because Americans are so lazy they will just go with it. Republican or Democrat they all are at fault. Now im not taking the blame of of Obama because he has screwed us over many times already and people just dont care. WAKE UP AMERICA LOOK WHATS GOING ON AROUND YOU STOP BEING LAZY AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CRAP!

You people are acting like this will pass. :roll:

TenP

Why wouldnt it Americans dont care about there country anymore from what i can see

Next thing you're going to be surprised that you never had to pay income tax either.

No, you've never had to pay income tax, but I would highly advise everyone to pay their income tax, unless they want to be faced with legal repercussions.

why the hell am i hearing about this for the first time on gamespot? shouldn't i have seen this on cnn or some other news station? does anyone have a link to the exact wording of the bill?

you wont hear this kind of news on Cnn or Fox they are both biased so why would you listen to them explore the only free way to speak your mind = the internet

Wow shutting down the internet would be bad.
That would make a lot of people mad.

Not good at all.

It really doesn't surprise me that this is even being considered..it shouldn't. The internet is one of the main forms of communication now and the government could shut it down to get more control over the people. Luckily we still have the second amendment, right?
