Yet another play for our current government to run everything -- health care, banks, wall street, auto companies, student loans, education, radio stations, etc. etc.

I mean seriously: is internet security so awful that we need the federal government to monitor everything and set all the rules? I think not.

[FaeveeAngel]

The government can't run itself. Why would anybody allow it to run anything else?

Seems to suggest if the US government wants something ... the world needs to respond?
Internet may have started in the US, but is it not an international medium now?
How can the US have the nerve to suggest They will regulate it?

[Glauri]

Surely that's a rhetorical question Buaz -- there is seemingly nothing beyond the reach of our current government and their wish to control all.

I can promise you that the government of the US is monitoring all on internet.
