Lawrence Lessig, a Stanford University law professor, claims that the US government has prepared a type of Patriot Act that is in place and ready for Congress should a major security event occur, a 9-11 type event. And just like the Patriot Act contains all sorts of new restrictions, there is concern that this I-Patriot Act will have many restrictions and laws that may limit the way the Internet is used. This is from Fortune Brainstorm conference "2018: Life on the Net."



Lessig: "I had dinner once with Richard Clark at the table and I said 'is there an equivalent to the Patriot Act — an iPatriot Act — just sitting waiting for some substantial event just waiting for them to come have the excuse for radically changing the way the Internet works?' And he said, 'Of course there is' — and I swear this is what he said, and quote — 'and Vint Cerf is not going to like it very much.'"

  • The American People don't support this.

    This is unamerican, unconstitutional. The American People recognize the Bankers are criminal, the Government bureaucrats are criminal, the government, financial sector, the IRS, the federal reserve, the crooked american businesses, GM/GE.

    This is unconstitutional.

    We have the first amendment of the constitution,

    The second amendment of the constitution, right to bear arms to defend against tyrannical oppressive government., 9th and 10th amendments.

  • This isn't very ominous, considering they're sitting around chuckling about it.

  • Yes ... This clip is very likely spot on. I suppose their is just to much expression of free thought on the net. The Sheepole might accidently learn about how the elite/bankers are rogering them.
