Who in their mind thinks a Internet “kill Switch” is a good idea?
Is it just me or are we getting more and more stupid these days. The civil rights of American citizens, a once shining example in the free world just keeps getting covered up in the goo that is government. It has come to this the Senate Homeland “still sounds like fatherland to me” Security Committee approves the use of a “kill Switch” for the internet.
The bill, co-sponsored by Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Tom Carper (D-Del.) would make the Department of Homeland Security responsible for protecting civilian networks in the government and private sector. Now the key part of this sentence is “Department of Homeland Security responsible for protecting civilian networks in the government and private sector” honestly this bill puts the government in charge of private networks, oh this should end good. When we realize that nothing Washington D.C. does is for us, they only want power and lucky for them we just sit back and say here ya go. Read all about it here.
Looks like Orwell was just off by a few years.
