"Cybersecurity Act of 2009" - American's beware of this...

[IDBash]

The basics of this act are that the government will have full control of the internet in every way shape and form. In 1 years time they will then setup a licensing, certification, and periodic recertification program for cybersecurity professionals. Beginning 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act, it shall be unlawful for any individual to engage in business in the United States, or to be employed in the United States, as a provider of cybersecurity services to any Federal agency or an information system or network designated by the President, or the President's designee, as a critical infrastructure information system or network, who is not licensed and certified under the program.

AKA Government will control ALL public and private IT and Web services giving them effective control of all free enterprise as IT is the heart of Operations of all companies to date.

[walls of cetepedes]

By the sounds of it, that only affects America. Is that the case?

 

[Code Monkey]

Muahaha! Not gunna be making fun of us Humble Canadians any more, you damn yankees!
Oh I kid, I kid.

I'm horrified, But not surprised.

 

[Player 2]

Yay China America!

 

[walls of cetepedes]

Spoonshivik, can I come move in with you, seeing as how Obama is deciding that we don't deserve to think for ourselves? Unless, of course, he goes communistic. Then, of course, I'll stay in America. Otherwise, he can fuck off.

My house is already fully booked.
Being the last bastian of the human race and all.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

*picks up rifle* Time to put the 2nd amendment to use, eh?

In all seriousness that really sucks and pisses me off. Im not surprised about it but I am angry.

 

[BarkBark]

I guess the American government wants to compete
in the 'We have more control over our people' race.

You better have kept my spot open...
You promised.

My mind is starting to unfold at the ramifications of this.

Okay, I need to stop taking this seriously...NOW!
If I need to fill out some paperwork every time I want to go to a site, then I'm taking half the country with me in a spastic display of irritation.

 

[Xyphon]

I predict large, angry mobs with flamethrowers the day this happens.

 

[Pielikey]

The FBI already watches everything we do, obviously.

There are 12 cameras trained at me right now!

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Well, I'd better start packing. And learn Swedish.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

We can always kill someone off, amrite? Just think, if I move in, you'll have two kitties
THAT'S LIKE ONE CAT, BUT TWO!?!?!?!?!

I already have two Kittehs.

You better have kept my spot open...
You promised.

You were the third guy booked in.

I would agree with you to an extent... But consider that Microsoft is American it affects over 90% of all the world's computer systems.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

Oh fuck off, Spoon. You let the sadistic whaler in, but not me?!
GOD DAMN YOU, SPOON! YOU WON'T HAVE THREE CATS! I'LL JUST GO MOVE IN WITH NITTY! [Yes, I realize he lives in America. That adds to the humor.]

He was the 4th person booked in.
