nsane.forums Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The Obama administration is planning on handing over power to the U.S. Commerce department in a new effort to increase security on the Internet. The idea is to create an "identity ecosystem" for the Internet, while the government says this is not a "National ID Card" it does appear to be very similar but restricted only to Internet activities. According to CBSnews.com, "We are not talking about a national ID card, we are not talking about a government-controlled system. What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy; reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital identities." Surely the top complaint of Internet users right now is that they forgot their passwords and would like the government to fix this problem. While all the details are not yet set in stone, nor have they been passed into law, it seems like the Obama administration wants tighter control and easier access to track down individuals on the Internet. But CBS does report that "Schmidt stressed today that anonymity and pseudonymity will remain possible on the Internet. 'I don't have to get a credential if I don't want to,' and that there's no chance that 'a centralized database will emerge,' from this movement". How the Internet will react to such a mandate is still unknown and how it will play into being anonymous online is still up in the air. The only thing for certain is that the government wants to be able to track your online activities with greater ease.

Administrator DKT27 Posted January 9, 2011 Administrator Share Posted January 9, 2011 I've only allowed this article in a view that it gives some ideas. I wish to see this thread not having any harsh views or war of words. So that it can be discussed (if needed), maturely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Well I will say this much.. when the big issue of pedophiles on the net came about.. and all of the talks of 18 or over verification came about .. for porn and other adult material.. I was sitting here thinking the same thing..how do you make something like that happen without being circumvented.. Slide your DL ( Driver's License ) through a scanner on the PC?.. enter the number so its verified in a national database.. and how is this going to effect sites in other countries.. will you now have to show your ID before you move pass the countries boarders online too..EDIT: Edited due to being off topic with the article..

HX1 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 :rofl: .. I must have missed that somewhere.. :lmao: I think I need to start reading these a little closer.. After awhile though. regardless of the brainstorming.. You start to just not bother.. only one of a few ways to say, ' No this isn't what we want.. ' besides the obstacles which would be faced...People like not having to worry about being hooked up like this right now.. they get weird when they see a tag on a site that says.. 'Your IP is.. ' ...Truth of the matter is that there really needs to be a solution approached.. what it will be in the end has yet to be seen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STRELOK Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 They also will want an ID for Assange even he is not standing on American soil. LOL. This government is a joke. Currently, I am sorry by the United States. The fall of U.S. They should make them pay a fee for the atrocities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the latest in Iraq. A fee of 20 trillion U.S. dollars. I think they have more interest in knowing everything and fight piracy than arresting real criminals.The U.S. also want to control and rule the world. Let me be quiet... :usama: [Robert Gates in China: Beijing Seeks to Ease U.S. Fears"We have to pay attention to Them, We Have to respond with Appropriately Programmes Our Own."The U.S. Has Been Closely watching the China Increases STI military capacity - in particular, ITS Development of the so-called "carrier killer" missile, a land-based system Which Could sink an aircraft carrier from up to 1.800 miles (2.900 kilometers) away .] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Sign the petition... I haven't decided yet what exactly.. but here you go.. I hate news with disinformation though.. they try to get the wrong mindset in place.. ' Commerce Secretary Gary Locke announced.. ' Not Barak Obama... A few other points in getting to the clear truth.. but.. regardless.. Remember this is our government.. and yes we do have a say..Rallying the troops so to speak should not be that hard.. Like lying to get something done... even if ' accusation ' was correct who are you learning from and why the redundant cycle.. ANYWAY.. da link..Demand Progress Campaign..
