Sup John. The law is not the intent. The stated items in the law, those are not the intent. The intent is to get the camel's nose in.

Then the FCC can be tasked with 'enforcement' of this non-enforceable law, and from there, we can expect the FCC to start bureaucratic regulation-making that will enact the real goal that Obama has: Shutting down all dissent on the internet.

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.

I'll go out on a limb here and take a wild guess. I get the feeling you may dislike Obama.

Likely right, unfortunately. I still reserve the thought, Obama is a tool, a fool. But Pandora’s Box is his to open, and once he does, those with diabolical plans and the ability to implement them will. It is inevitable.

[[Obama says hacks show need for cybersecurity law]]

Yes because after all you’ve done such a great job with healthcare, why not let you completely take over the world wide internet as well?

I believe the “hack” was an inside job. It all sounded too American.

It had the LOOK of an American..opertaion

ISIS isnt that stylistically concerned...from what ove seen of their visual communications

FUrthermore I strongly doubt that they’d have used the words CYBER...and CALIPHATE...together

.Americans.. very likely would assume that was precisely how to present ...ISIS...very HOLLYWOOD

Think "Fast and Furious" and you'll understand where they get this urge to
dissolve more rights on Americans. There is no unusual cyber security issue
in America accept that which is invented by this asshole in the WH and his
closet Communist Whore Jarrett.

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.

That would a one of the goals, in time.
