SOPA/Killswitch Bill Sneaks Back Into Congress And Are Stronger Than Ever - Get Ready For Round 2!
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) will lead his second effort of 2012 to push Internet-regulating legislation, this time in the form of a new cybersecurity bill.
The expected bill is the latest attempt by the Democrats to broadly expand the authority of executive branch agencies over the Internet.
The details of the bill still remain in secrecy but clues available to the public suggest that the bill might be stronger than President Barack Obama’s ‘Killswitch emergency cybersecurity’ proposal, which was released in May 2011.
The Killswitch bill allows the president to ‘declare a cyber emergency’ and shut down the internet.
Reid said that he would bring the bill — expected to come out of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, chaired by Connecticut independent Sen. Joe Lieberman — to the floor during the first Senate work period of 2012.
Just to be clear:
- This bill is worse than SOPA, it will censor the internet and allow the President to shut it down much like what happened to Egypt during the Arab Spring
- The Obama Administration not only supports the likes of the bill, but proposed it
- The Government will have full control over the internet
- The Government will have FULL CONTROL over the internet
- Private-sectors, the state and the government will be granted immunity
- The Government will have full control over the internet
- Websites thought to be ‘infringing’ copyright laws will be seized by the government
- Internet entrepreneurship will be endangered
- YouTube will disappear (oh no!)
If you haven’t lost your faith in the Obama Administration, take a look at this. Obama plans to create a law that would mandate every American to have an ‘internet id’.
SOPA is not dead and neither is the Killswitch bill. As soon as I have any new information I will update this post.
While lawmakers dream of a censored web, you can download tribler for file sharing. Tribler is the next generation in p2p and it is IMMUNE to censorship.

P.S. Don’t be a dick, remember to seed.
