i was reading one of the blogs on some computer related stuff and notticed this:


Obama Seeks Power to Shut Down the Internet
Senator Democrats are attempting to pass legislation which will give President Obama the authority to shut down the Internet and seize private networks.

On CNET News, Lee Tien, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), stated “As soon as you're saying that the federal government is going to be exercising this kind of power over private networks, it's going to be a really big issue.”

The bill, misleadingly titled “The Cybersecurity Act of 2009″, allows Obama to declare an emergency based upon no hard criteria. Once he declares this emergency, he can effectively shut down free speech on the Internet.

Jay Rockefeller, the bill's sponsor, said “I know the threats we face. Our enemies are real. They are sophisticated, they are determined and they will not rest.” Unfortunately, it looks like the threat which Jay is most worried about is free speech from Americans who do not approve of Obama's plans to impose national socialism upon the citizens of the United States.

In addition, the bill will require government licenses of any individual who seeks employment as a “cybersecurity professional”, effectively giving the Democratic party authority to prevent their political opponents from being involved in protecting either government or private networks from attack.

Not going to happen, and bound to be sensationalised or exaggerated in some form or another.
 
This has been around for awhile now, I first heard about it 4 months ago.

That being said, I can see this topic going waaaaaaay out of hand. So I'm going to have to close it.
