Интернет скоро будет под присмотром правительства
Ох и ни фига себе закон готовится!!! Страшно читать:
Security: A Senate bill lets the president "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "nongovernmental" computer networks and do what's needed to respond to the threat.
The legislation is sponsored by Sens. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine.
Senate Bill 773 would grant the administration emergency powers in the event of a cyberemergency that the president would have the power to define and declare.
A working draft of the legislation, which is in its second incarnation, obtained by an Internet privacy group, would grant the secretary of commerce access to all privately owned information networks deemed critical to the nation's infrastructure "without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule or policy restricting such access."
Sen. Rockefeller says he wants to prevent a "digital Pearl Harbor".
The bill does not clearly define what a cyberemergency or critical network is. Nor does it explicitly define the powers of the president in such an emergency or what he is prevented from doing. That is left up to the administration in power.
Section 201 of the bill permits the president to "direct the national response to the cyber threat" for "the national defense and security." The White House is supposed to engage in "periodic mapping" of private networks, and these companies "shall share" requested information with the federal government.
The federal government would be empowered to access any information on the Internet and find "choke points" where hackers and governments, including our own, might be able to control, or stop, the flow of data and information. Your Internet service provider would be required by law to supply federal bureaucrats with whatever network, account, usage and history information they deem appropriate.
To further keep an eye on things, the bill establishes a federal training and certification program for cybersecurity professionals and requires that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been properly trained by the government and awarded that government license.
