What? This Looks Like a Bad Idea

SEE HERE If the government thinks that the internet represents a hazard to them, nothing is mandating that they stay connected. But imposing vast controls on a public service that isn't even a unity, but a lose conglomeration of interconnected privately own networks is an unconstitutional imposition of government power over private assets. It's largely equivalent to saying that the government has the right to muzzle everyone to stop them talking if they think national security is at risk. Who makes that kind of decision? On what basis and by what right? Government is too big, too intrusive, too irresponsible, and too unconcerned about the rights of the citizens. It's time to make is smaller, less intrusive, more responsible, and more engaged in defending our personal liberties and not endangering them.
