STANFORD, Calif. - President Obama is planning to hand the U.S. Commerce Department authority over a forthcoming cybersecurity effort to create an Internet ID for Americans, a White House official said here today.
It's "the absolute perfect spot in the U.S. government" to centralize efforts toward creating an "identity ecosystem" for the Internet, White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt said.
That news, first reported by CNET, effectively pushes the department to the forefront of the issue, beating out other potential candidates including the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security.

Au contraire, my FRiend. Net Neutrality is the first step to "control" the Internet and so far, nobody stopped them. Net IDs is the second step to "intimidate" Americans and we'll see if anybody stops them. The third step is to "throttle" certain bands to "knock out particular sites."
Cutting the communication between Americans is essential to the Communist takeover. The Internet and talk radio control is necessary to stop citizens in any part of the country from alerting the rest of the country about what the thugs are doing. One example is weapons confiscation, which is paramount to subjugating an armed population.
0h0m0 and his communist regime are moving quickly, albeit in small, stealthily labeled steps.
It'll be an ugly fight because communists don't respect the people and don't give an inch without being forced.
Of course we're not... Yeah, THAT'S the ticKET! Just register for your government issued password. It's easy and takes just a few minutes of your time to fill out the federal internet survey. But make sure you include your e-mail address and social security number as well as the e-mail addresses and social security numbers for all members of your household so we can be sure we don't leave anybody out of this wonderful service provided to you courtesy of our beloved President...

Gee I dunnno. IRS audits, FCC license revocation, trafficking in kiddie porn charges, claims of aiding terrorists, accusations of treason...
Pick one, pick all, add to the list.
Where is the ACLU????
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
You are here.
Right there, advising 0h0m0 how to do it legally!
The Communists-in-arms don't need no stinkin' liberties.
what safeguards will ensure that the Gov will not track what political sites you visit, books you read etc?
THAT THE WHOLE POINT OF WHY THEY WANT TO DO THIS
Been meaning to put all my eggs in one basket for a long time now. Really wish they would hurry it up and completely take over my life so’s I can get about the business of just being a shroom. That’s all I ever wanted to be...
Ah yes, google.
The selfsame company that "disappeared" half a million hits on image searches for "obama birth certificate" between July 15 and July 17, 2008.
No bias there...
No ID required for voting, illegal aliens, terrorists.....etc. but when you want to access information on the web, the Stasis will need to see your ID......LMAO
Fake ID, Fake Mac addresses, encryption.......How are they going to control the zero and one’s broadcast through the air on the pirate internet? There’s no way to implement such a power grab....Americans will just circumvent it and demand short trials and justice ala Ceausescu in Romania.
You should be ashamed to have posted that about Jack Wheeler. He was a good man - why don’t you find out the complete story before you post this crap.
Fascism on the march.
lol, post of the day
: ...THAT WOULD PROVE THAT PEOPLE ARE WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE!!!!
: These digital IDs would be offered to consumers by online vendors for financial transactions...
How to kill this: Insert a requirement that the same ID be used to vote.
Will we have to produce a copy of our birth certificate as a prerequisite for obtaining a government-issued Cyber-ID?
I have an IMAC and I like it except for the wireless stuff.
I have heard and Jobs has visited Obama.
“I am a member of the 60s generation. In my opinion, the truth of the matter is that we were too naive and ignorant to spot the con at the beginning and most of my generation are now hip deep in denial.”
BINGO!
If people think of it as using your SSN as your netID -- same concept, really -- the country would go ballistic.
