giving the President an Internet kill switch is probably not the best idea…
Monday, 24. January 2011
I guess there is a way that someone can push a button and completely stop the Internet. And a couple of politicians - doesn’ t really matter who - want the President to have the power to do that. From this story:
…”the point of the proposal is to assert governmental control only over those “crucial components that form our nation’s critical infrastructure.”
So, they want to be able to stop the Internet if there is some kind of cyber-attack or something. But don’t things happen pretty quickly online. Oh no, they’ve infiltrated our banking system and stole all the money… Why didn’t you tell us to hit the ‘kill switch’… It happened in three milliseconds… Oh, yeah, no kidding, huh, that fast?… Yep… Wow, that’s really fast… Yeah.
