How do you feel about a United States President having the power to possibly shutdown portions of the Internet?
The US Senate committee has approved legislation which effectively gives President Obama the power to shut off parts of the internet when there is a national emergency.The legislation is called Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act and will allow the President in times of national emergency to implement response plans for protecting the infrastructure of the web, as well as the electrical grid and telcom networks.
