| Republican calls for Internet switch off A top US republican has called for an Internet shut down and an end to social media as a way to stop terrorism. You will not be surprised to discover that Joe Barton comes from Texas, a US state renowned for the calibre of its philosophers, scientists and professional thinkers. Barton’s cunning plan to stop terrorists is to shut down websites, including social media networks. He asked Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler if the commission can shut down websites because “we need to do something” because of the terrorist attack in Paris. “They have declared war against us and they’re using the Internet in an extremely offensive, inappropriate way against us, and we ought to be able to make it, at a minimum much more difficult and hopefully, absolutely shut it down.” “ISIS and the terrorist networks can’t beat us militarily, but they are really trying to use the Internet and all of the social media to try to intimidate and beat us psychologically,” Barton said. http://www.techeye.net/news/republic...net-switch-off |
