New 'Internet Consorship' Bill Rushed Through Congress

http://www.menwithfoilhats.com/2010/06/new-internet-censorship-bill-rushed-through-congress/

There is a bill going through congress right now called "The Protecting Cyberspace Act". This bill is intended to prevent a cyber 9/11 in which computer hackers take aim at important American infrastructures that mainly use the internet. Some of these targets are nuclear power plants, banks, and pentagon computer networks. Most computer hackers are Chinese. many also believe that the Chinese government organises the hacks on the U.S computer network.

I think that this bill is necessary because computer hackers can disable U.S defence systems and put viruses on many sites. Not so long ago, there was a massive Chinese computer hack on Google that caused the security on the sight to crash. After cyber attacks, most websites tighten there security and may block out users from the country, state, or city that they think have attacked the sight.
