Either the end wi...That bill WILL end hilariously.<br /><br />Either the end will result in the next hacker super weapon like the Great Firewall of China (A UDP deflection attack using key terms like "democracy" will cause a invalid UDP packet flood of a size to shut down any network on the planet), or the system just breaks itself.<br /><br />If this bill passes, its implementation will be an impossibility. They do not have jurisdiction over what programs and protocols are used on a private system, and they can not make protocol writers who live outside of the US comply.<br /><br />Anyone with significant understanding of the internet and how it functions will tell you that they have all the tools they need already and trying to do this will increase the vulnerability of average citizens and open up the US Gov't to more counter-intelligence and provide a great avenue of attack.<br /><br />One more thing before I rush off to class. Covert, untraceable web hosting and viewing already exists. Look up Freenet, and TOR. Both use systems that break up content across many redundant machines, and obscure traffic to look like regular web traffic. These are being successfully used in the People's Republic of China so pro-democracy advocates can communicate to others.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971986598583086801noreply@blogger.com
