Trying to get the cat back in the bag perhaps?

Starting over is the only way for the Federal Government to build in technology to monitor all Internet traffic for their own purposes. It grew unexpectedly fast and got away from them, and they hate it. ;)

[SlowBoat407]

If it will shut down Free Republic, they’re all for it.

[NormsRevenge]

They won’t say that in the article, of course, tho they call spammers and hackers out.

I believe this is the driving force:

"...and law enforcement is bound to make its needs for wiretapping known."

Algore will be devastated.

“One challenge in any reconstruction, though, will be balancing the interests of various constituencies.”

Let’s see, this is from the Asspress writing out of Brussels, the home of the EU. Professional liars writing for the globalists.

“doesn’t satisfy all needs”

Like keeping conservatives informed over the msm’s need to keep people in line along lib-think, I suppose.

[SittinYonder]

Can I keep my screen name?

"And one day, sensors of all sorts will likely be Internet capable."

Oh joy.

[don-o]

Has AlGore been informed of this?

These types always feel they need to get rid of the existing structure that bothers them, rather than building something new to compete with it.

If your ideas are so great, build your better mousetrap and let it grow when it wows the world.

Ya beat me to it. ;-)

Of course they will also add a use tax and a permit or license for access.

[PetroniusMaximus]

“the Internet doesn’t have built-in mechanisms for knowing with certainty who sent what.”

Central issue.

This is what they can’t stand.

[DBrow]

In the Sixties and into the Seventies the Left was chanting Power To The People!

Now that it’s actually here, many wish to rethink just who in the people gets the power!

[beltfed308]

Of course they need to scrap the internet. It is last bastion of freedom that most govts have no control over.
