According to today's American Thinker, Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia has introduced two bills in the Senate which will control internet traffic. The Canada Free Press is reporting:
"The White House will have new powers to access private online data, regulate the cyber security industry and even shut down Internet traffic under the provisions of Senate bills No. 773 and 778, introduced by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V.. It's called the Cybersecurity Act of 2009."
The article in the Canada Free Press has links to the working draft of the bill. The bill is designed to control the technology of the internet and computer software. I don't have enough of a technical background to understand what this means, but I really don't understand why we have to let the government control either the internet or the technology involved in it.
