The Following Article should Alarm everybody (as if we are not already alarmed by the Obama administration). The government is seizing control of the internet and all of the information therein.
A determined propaganda blitz is well underway as the government sets the stage for the passage of Cybersecurity Act of 2009, introduced in the Senate earlier this year. If passed, it will allow Obama to shut down the internet and private networks. The legislation also calls for the government to have the authority to demand security data from private networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule or policy restricting such access. In other words, the bill allows the government to impose authoritarian control over electronic communications.
Earlier today, the corporate media reported on a “powerful attack that overwhelmed computers at U.S. and South Korean government agencies,” allegedly launched by North Korea. “South Korean intelligence officials believe the attacks were carried out by North Korea or pro-Pyongyang forces,” the Associated Press reported.
It should be noted that South Korea’s intelligence apparatus — known as the Korean Central Intelligence Agency — was formed under the auspices of the U.S. Army’s Counter Intelligence Corps during the Korean War and is notorious for intervening in that country’s politics and kidnapping Koreans living abroad and torturing them. In other words, anything South Korean intelligence tells the corporate media should be taken with a large grain of salt.
According to “security experts analyzing the attacks,” Obama’s White House, the Pentagon, the New York Stock Exchange, the National Security Agency, Homeland Security Department, State Department, the Treasury Department, Federal Trade Commission and Secret Service, the Nasdaq stock market and The Washington Post were targeted.
All of this is happening as Senate Commerce Chairman John (Jay) Rockefeller — who has said we’d all be better off if the internet was never invented — plans a committee vote on cybersecurity legislation he introduced in April with Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine.
Under Rockefeller’s bill, the White House would be required to create an Office of the National Cybersecurity Adviser within the Executive Office of the President as well as an advisory panel of experts from industry, academia and the globalist NGOs, according to Congress Daily.
In May, Obama pledged to personally select a cyber czar who would report to the National Security Council and National Economic Council.

With this bill, ALL of you computerized data can be accessed by the government without recourse to any laws or the constitution. Another in a long line of steps to take over our nation and make it a Communist country.

I hate to say this but all of your data can be accessed anyway, if the government so chooses.
Not legally though. There has to be due process. Under this new law, no due process would be needed.
Wow, we've spent our money in a pointless war and blamed the home owners for the state of the economy, unemployment rates are extremely high, people are dying of hunger everyday, and yet we have crazies screaming "FASCISM!"
So, what's so bad about protecting copyright laws?
The people talking about this, like the software 'activist' don't seem reliable, first of all he looks homeless, and the others giving their opinions are just regular people, how do they know if this is even true?
Like Stephanie said, this is all easily accessible anyway.
Although I have heard of the cyber czar before, that's still being worked on, so we don't know what exactly it's going to be yet.
There is also more Interet related things going on right now though, but it is very different than this and it's more probable that it passes. It's more about net neutrality and anti-discrimination against small websites. Here's the article:

People did not think it so crazy when it was Bush tapping telephone lines, but Obama looking in all of our computers and having the ability to completely shut off the internet and those same people yawn. There is no difference. Big government is big government whoever is running it, and it is wrong. Where are those people who railed against wiretapping now?
Yes some of the cited info is part of the copyright issues, but the newest info out was not quite available when I wrote this. Even the ACLU is up in arms about this, but no one is reporting that. We can't report anything bad about the anointed one.
I believe it is HR 771 & 773 but I would have to double check the numbers on that. This would allow the president to declare a martial law state over some undefined cyber emergency. Too much power is being centralized outside constitutional bounds.
I would not trust your link. I would not believe anything in New Obama times says anyway... The major media is just a mouthpiece for Obama propoganda.
According to "fair and balanced" Fox, if you trust that one, it's just a 'switch' that will let him turn the internet off if we get cyber attacks:

I am a libertarian, so I'm not too happy with the whole idea of big brother, but this doesn't really sound so bad. I don't know why everything has to be scare tactics with the right
Being a libertarian, we probably agree on a lot more issue than we disagree on. Fox News really misses the point if all they mentioned was the ability to flip a switch. The provisions that concern me are the parts that give govt. authority to gather information without due process from any and all computers and networks. At airports they would be able to take your laptop and go through all information therin. Also the definition of what a cyber emergency is and the chain of command with how one is authorized. This bill gives all authority soley to the president.
ignore the rhetorical pictures.

This puts it all in perspective.
