U.S. Government Proposes "Internet Kill Switch"

I bet you are one of those people that thinks we are in iraq to fight the "terrorists" and find "osama bin laden" and not to make a bunch of white guys rich from oil and the sale of military supplies to the government.TheTurtleMan said:
I bet you also think it's ok that if you are labeled a "terrorist" by the government that they can hold you as long as they want, even without proof, and deny you a fair trial.
I could go on and on about how the government is taking away our freedoms legally because people with no brains did nothing, but I wont.
Bottom line is, the internet is a powerful tool that should not be allowed to have an off switch.
...That is the single most retarded thing I've ever heard a politician say about the internet. Not counting anything by Sarah Palin. But still, holy hell these people are our representatives in government!Andy Chalk said:
Also, I want the word 'cyber' stricken from the English language. And anyone who uses it will be given the death penalty.
For that matter, I'm sick of them saying 'This will be the next 9/11!' about every minor security threat. 9/11 is not some tool to try and crowbar in half-baked security reforms, people! This reminds me of how politicians compared everything to communism to avoid socializing any more public services.
It's more refering to power grids, telecoms, water treatment plants etc. missile computers arn't sporting the latest version of IE or firefox, much less hooked up to any intra or internet, if this were so, Chinese hackers probably would have already blown our shit up.kjh242 said:

No. This is stupidity beyond stupidity. Is there ever even a time where the Internet would have to be shut off, or it just them slapping us in the face with their massive cocks, while laughing at us?
And like Jack and Calumon said, would there be any warning, or would it just be "Ha Ha! We are shutting off your precious internet noobsz! Go outside! HA!!!!1!!!!1111!!!!!!!!!!ONEONE!!!"?

Oh great. This could easily be solved by pulling the plug on their own servers. I don't see why I can't use the web even though some terrorist is hacking into the national database. If it's electronical, there's a plug to it. Or batteries. But either way, you can shut it off without having to screw with the rest of us.

I think what Congress is trying to do is have the option for the ultimate final dam, as it were.TheRightToArmBears said:
If some aspect of the government's internet security was compromised, and every conventional measure had been attempted, they want to be able to fall back on this if they have to.
Yeah, also, I wonder what would happen afterwards. Say that the gov't decided to go completely loco and start attacking the citizens. I know that's unlikely but hear me out. We wouldn't really be able to cry out for help from foreign countries or even inform them the way that those citizens in the middle east show what is happening to them for fighting over voting. It seems unsafe. (Yeah, I realize many of you wouldn't care.)El Poncho said:
