Hasn’t the Obama administration been suggesting that the president should have power to curtail the internet in times of emergency? I think this is a wonderful example of what can happen if the government gets in control of the internet.......just sayin’

Defeat any and every Senator who co-sponsors, votes for, or does not openly oppose this treasonous bill. Lieberman and Collins must be recalled for proposing it.

This is not about security. In fact, creating a central authority that can “kill” the Internet makes the Internet more INSECURE. Now, someone would have to attack a multitude of distributed nodes operating on a multitude of platforms to “kill” the Internet. If this idiocy is implemented, they would have to attack on centralized location operating on one platform.

So what’s it about? Simple: Control.

I think the presidential internet “kill switch” talk is pretty much dead and gone in Amercia, Congress, and anywhere else its will ever be mentioned again in DC.

Kill switch = Dictator, it did before the Citizens ever heaard about it, and it certainly is now.

Kill switch = Dictator = ?? “o”, Reid, etc....Its now much more “Obvious” what the Kill switch talk was all about.

“As evidenced by what is happening in Egypt, the only fucking way the President needs an emergency internet kill switch is if the government is doing something really fucking bad.”
