Obama's Internet kill switch

http://nma.tv | http://www.nma.com.tw US President Barack Obama is to be given the power to shut down the Internet with a "kill switch," according to reports. The kill switch is part of a new law proposed by Senator Joe Lieberman that would suspend access to popular websites during national emergencies. Critics of the measure say it amounts to an abuse of power and the White House shouldn't be allowed to control the internet.
