Brilliant US senate bill would allow the internet to be shut down

A recently proposed but little-noticed Senate bill would allow the federal government to shut down the Internet in times of declared emergency, and enables unprecedented federal oversight of private network administration.

Who the fuck comes up with shit like this?

Great idea numbskulls, there's a cyber-crisis (LOL) and you want to shut down the internet, effectively shutting down the economy of your whole damn country?
