Presidential "kill-switch" for the Internet?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009...trol-internet/

I couldn't find this bill on http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/d111query.html

What's the bill bill number?

*EDIT: Found it

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:s.00773:

Now that should be illegal, there's no way this infringes on "National Security" and now people think Obama was the wrong choice, we already getting taxed on Satellite now because Cable can't compete with Sat providers, what's next, Internet for the rich and thats' it?

A national emergency? isnt that like the Indians in the spam room of chatrooms sending you porn links?

Internet emergency my ass why dont you worry about a real emergency when the comet is going to hit earth in 2025.

best idea i've heard since, well, intranets

(Just read this briefly on Neowin.)

Sounds like something China would do.

What are they really blocking? Just government websites or all american internet traffic?

Oh, don't worry about it.

He has a gift.

Are you talking 'bout the powers of Christ?

The Power Of Christ Compels You.

From the bill:

• • (2) may declare a cybersecurity emergency and order the limitation or shutdown of Internet traffic to and from any compromised Federal Government or United States critical infrastructure information system or network;

Doesn't look like they'll be shutting the internets down totally. Leave it to politicians to write a confusing as hell statement though,

That's what I thought.
As usual leave it to the media to twist the truth and blow it all out of proportion.

"Presidential "kill-switch" for the Internet?" :lol:

Fox News... nuff said.

Why is foxnews posted here...

Foxnews has been proven and they acknowledge to be a entertain site like tmz

Fox news?

You bet...bringing you the best of Howard Dean.

If its just the government-related sites, who the hell cares =/. Wheeee, I can't access my favorite 600 page bill I read everyday over breakfast, the government is taking away my rights.

...

I heard conservative radio giving crap about this law (and obviously as a weapon against obama). As tesco said, blown out of proportion.

he doesn't want the bill to pass . if it did though he could kill us all by skynet and robots!!!

Yeah - blown out of proportion.

Like the Patriot Act.

I can't tell if you're serious half the time.

I can assure you I am totally serious at least half the time.

Apparently the Left in America has your confidence.

Here's a question for you:

What if it were 2003, instead of 2009?
