This is what Obama wants. He wants to have total control over the internet, this is what it’s like in China and Iran. The government controls the internet and is able to restrict usage and access to sites. Americans don’t even want pornographic books banned at public and school libraries yet they are going to allow Obama and his Chicago thugs to control the internet? Do you (the American citizen) want Obama to determine what is true or false on the internet? That’s what Cass Sunstein, the Obama IT Czar, wants to do.

Should President Obama Control The Internet? – Austin Hill at Townhall

But today, things are different. After approximately seven months in office, President Obama controls, in varying degrees, General Motors, Chrysler, and a variety of financial services companies. He is seeking to control, among other things, the health care industry, the energy industry, and the amount of money that business executives are paid by their employers.

And now it appears that the President who ran the most successful, web-savvy political campaign in world history, wants to curtail what other people can do online.

Cass Sunstein, an American legal scholar and Harvard Law Professor, has been appointed by President Obama to head up the “White House Office Of Information And Regulatory Affairs.� His title is sufficiently broad and ambiguous, but he wields plenty of power. And with advance copies circulating of his new book “On Rumors: How Falsehoods Spread, Why We Believe Them, What Can Be Done,� Americans who still care about their rights to “freedom of speech� should be paying close attention.

snip….Perhaps most disturbing is Mr. Sunstein’s vision for the future of web content, as he argues for a so-called “notice and take downâ€? law. Under this provision, those who operate websites – - The Washington Post, radio stations, private bloggers, and perhaps even you, yourself -we would all be required “take down falsehoods upon noticeâ€? from the U.S. government.

If you think you don’t need to get involved yet, then just watch your freedoms fall by the wayside while you’re more interested in the life of aging rock star who was surrounded by accusations of pedophilia. Continue to not pay attention and leave it to ’someone else’ to protect your freedoms!
