Glöm inte deras inkörsport till unga så att deras "nya" och reglerade (nazi) internet ska få fäste i barnen:


Hjärntvättade redan från grade 1.

Vart är vår värld påväg?

Även om jag inte älskar själva konceptet med statlig skola, så ser jag inte riktigt problemet med att lära ut just IT-säkerhet som ett ämne. Men du får gärna förklara hur du ser på det hela.

Att presidenten får möjlighet att stänga ner enskillda privata websidor är ett lite större issue.

Jagmåste dra just nu, så jag hinner inte läs så noga, men som jag förstått den där certifieringen så är det bara för folk som vill bli anställda av regeringen som säkerhetstekniker....

de verkar ha flyttat den, jag kan inte få tag på texten som du länkade till. utan bara sammanfattningar.

Hade du kunnat se om du kan hitta texten i sin helhet igen?

Det är s773 som innehåller de stycken jag citerat. Den länken (http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111...A5&version=is#) la jag ovanför citaten.

H.R.4061 är verkar rätt harmlös i gämförelse, men är intressant pga av att de ingår i samma "lagpaket", och att den kommit igenom "house of congress" med extremt stark majoritet(422 för, 5 emot och 6 nedlagda röster). Nedan har du iaf dess lagtext som den presenterades för kongressen. Det verkar som att den är oförändrad sedan dess.
