U.S. House Says the Internet is Terrorist Threat
 

"The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill (H.R. 1955) last month, by a vote of 404 to 6, that says the Internet is a terrorist tool and that Congress needs to develop and implement methods to combat it."

Well to say it isnt a tool would be um bullshit.

Al Gore should of thought of that before he invented it.

Damn you Al Gore!!!! You've killed us all!!!!

tv is also a terrorist tool, as well as a car ... :Oh crap

Home Depot is a warehouse for terrorist supplies.

This what is actually says out of context of course. This is one of several points to say freedom of speech should be restricted to prevent evil information.

"`(3) The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens."

I guess the U.S. gov't hasn't figured out the internet yet :Oh crap

Read the text of the bill before you post a thread that makes you look like an idiot.

well of course it is a tool for all types of illegal activities

Naw... they use walmart. that way they fit in better

Television, movies, video games, etc., etc.

Remember when Russia was evil because they used to turn in their family members as traitors. Now, we're supposed to turn in our family members if they drunk and drive or do drugs.

Times sure change :1orglaugh It's a RAT'S WORLD now!

It's going to be very hard to put the internet genie back in her bottle.

wonder about the purpose of something like this.. not like this is news

Terrorists also breathe air, let's try to combat that!

Poor paranoiacs.

Well said :thumbsup

HAHAHA nice so the Coles notes of this is that the US admins have yet to figure out a way of filtering/controlling thought on the internet.

they're just coming up with reasons to expand big brother's powers, that's all...

Very soon we'll all be limited to surfing via AOL and watching Disney channel online
