I just visited Drudge Report, and encountered the new lead story. While scanning the text I was struck by the sequence of the headlines in the last 24 hours. First there was a full panic about hacked government sites and ISIS threats to our soldiers. And now, the president uses the moment to push his next effort to control the internet. ~ TD
Obama pushes for internet rules
YahooNews: Obama renews push
for cybersecurity law
Washington (AFP) – President Barack Obama made a renewed push Tuesday for cybersecurity legislation Blah blah blah…
Blah blah blah… Sony attack… Blah blah blah… Twitter account that was hacked by Islamist jihadist sympathizers yesterday… Blah blah blah…
“…make sure that we are much more effective in protecting the American people from these kinds of cyberattacks…” Blah blah blah…
…enhances collaboration and information sharing amongst the private sector” Blah blah blah…
…allow the private sector to share data on threats without fear of liability… Blah blah blah…
Remember the panicked headlines this morning about generals’ home addresses being published on ISIS hacked Twitter and CENTCOM pages?
Well now all you have is a couple of links on the lower right column of the DrudgeReport.
AND please note the downgraded link above, “Tracked Back to Maryland.”
Maryland? Hmmmm… kinda close to DC.
Is it just me, or is anybody else’s “Spidey sense” tingling about this sequence of news stories?
