Washington (AFP) - President Barack Obama said Tuesday the cyber attacks against Sony and the Pentagon's Central Command highlight the need for toughened laws on cybersecurity.
Obama made the comment as the White House unveiled a proposal to revive cybersecurity legislation stalled over the past few years.

fyi
Why? You don’t enforce the laws that you have. You just create more.
Obama is predictable as a Muslim raping a goat.
Convenient that the hack occurred during his speech promoting the (likely Freedom-limiting) law.
It’s obvious.
The Net Neutrality CON...
No.
Eff you.
You don't get to 'unveil' legislation any more. YOU LOST.
So STFU and get the hell out of my White House, you Muslim gay racist crack-smoking Manchurian American-hating grifting Constitution-shredding lazy narcissistic self-important terrorist-loving ally-hating boy-boffing thug-wannabe white-hating Islamic P.O.S.
How would an American law prevent foreign countries from hacking us?
Well, it would prevent conservative news websites from publishing stories the Ministry of Propaganda (ABC, NBC, CBS, NYT, LAT, WP and the like) would prefer we do not see.
It would prevent foreign reports from leaking into America and destroying the Propaganda Ministry narrative.
It would allow the forced alteration of stories so as to conceal facts that are inconvenient for liberals, socialists, and communists in America.
It would deny conservative citizens any voice at all on the internet.
THAT is how it would prevent foreign countries from hacking us.
Y'see.
Don’t ask questions. Just pay your taxes on your government controlled, government regulated internet.
NLAGCGTW.
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
This bunch excels at jumping on anything for the purpose of fundamentally changing America.
What a joke. Exactly what law would deter law breakers? Isn’t hacking already illegal? How would you enforce US law against mostly foreign hackers? Who would you target, the endpoint which is probably just a zombie anyway? Any hacker worth his salt isn’t hitting his target from his home, he’ll go through proxy and botnet, through foreign IP even and especially if US-based. How is this a legislative issue? Are we bringing down the law against victims? Who is at fault, the service provider (Twitter et al) or the nimrod that chose poor password security. Will we monitor all IP traffic? Doesn’t the NSA already do that? How is that even legal? Do you have any idea what you’re talking about? Didn’t think so. What a maroon.
Satire?
Yep. That’s the answer. More laws.
It just WOULD, okay?
Now STOP asking questions...
... or else!
;-)
I actually disagree, this time.
I believe they CREATED this 'crisis'.
They've shown willingness to create crisis before, with the Fast and Furious gun-walker program.
Uh huh. You can’t even keep Centcom’s TWITTER account safe, BOZO.
>>How would an American law prevent foreign countries from hacking us?<<
The same way anti-gun laws stops criminals from having and using them, silly!
Well how convenient....
