[QUOTE="arktouros:1039665"]http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s773/show This is comprehensive legislation designed to address our nation's vulnerabilities to cyber crime, global cyber espionage, and cyber attacks. It would establish a new Cybersecurity Advisory Panel within the White House and stream-line the cybersecurity effort through all levels of government. [b]The bill also calls on the Department of Commerce to establish and maintain a clearinghouse on information related to cybsecurity threat and vulnerability information to public and private infrastructure deemed "critical" by the President. The Secretary of Commerce would be given access to this information "without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule, or policy restricting such access." [/b]The bill would also give the President new authority to "declare a cybersecurity emergency and order the limitation or shutdown of Internet traffic to and from any compromised Federal Government or United States critical infrastructure information system or network." Basically the way I see it - the federal government does not have hard cybersecurity specs in place and this bill does that. It creates a cybersecurity commission. It has nothing to do with net neutrality, but government institutions will need to conform their IT specs to this bill. This says essentially they will have a killswitch in place that shuts off the entire federal IT infrastructure and whatever other financial institutions are interconnected with the Department of Commerce (there's where you can let the conspiracy theories fly). It gives the president the power to hit this killswitch. It includes a cybersecurity awareness program for all personnel involved. This is in place because lately many websites associated with the govt has had security problems. In the wake of Google losing sensitive data they figured they needed to have better codes in place. It's true that a lot of damage can be done from inside a government intranet. Massachusetts has cybersecurity specs in place and I have to follow these codes all day, this is something the feds can go fuck themselves about. Anything that threatens the openness of the net in this country will be vetoed. But the part in bold I do not like. Thread title is wrong. Nothing to do with censorship. [/QUOTE]
