Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!?

The internet community gave a collective sigh of relief when SOPA died. Well those sighs may have been too soon.

While there is not enough info yet there is a possibility SOPA may yet rise from the grave under a different name, thanks to Sen Maj leader Harry Reed.
The rebuttal to push Internet-regulating legislation has transformed into a new cybersecurity bill. The particulars of the latest attempt by senators to censor the Internet have not been disclosed to the public.

However some leaks suggest that the bill will grant the authority to crack down on the Internet to the executive branch of power, namely the White House. It looks highly possible taking into consideration that the legislation has to come out of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, chaired by Connecticut Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman.
The article goes on to explain that Lieberman previously co sponsored the kill switch bill that would have given the president the ability to shut down the internet.

I suspect that by calling this a "security" rather than a copyright bill the scums in congress hope to slip it by the sleeping public the same way they did with the NDAA. Monkey will be watching this one...
