Thanks for the link — they don’t seem to explain why there is a need for a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT agency to administer it.

This is a blatant violation of privacy and abuse of executive powers. This would never pass any US Congress, so Obama is establishing it via an executive agency.

Congress needs to step in and stop it.

I bet one of the driving factors is exactly to intimidate and shut down conservative internet sites and discussion.
