Iranian Regime’s National Internet plans continue forward

Last March, it’s been said that the Iranian regime was testing out the National Internet system (or Intranet), before or during elections. The kind of Internet the regime will likely use to set up their servers and their own email and web search system. If this happens, the Iranians could be cut off from the rest of the rest of the world, and forced on the regime’s gatekeeper Internet. The Iranian regime would have to go through with it because it claims their own enemies are out there in cyberspace, national security and reputation concerns, un-lslamic/Western content, and more. Possibly in August, the Iranian people’s hope of getting online on the current Internet may be at an end. The government recently set up a council-level position just to oversee the Internet in their country. Denial or not, the current Internet as is, may make or break the Iranian regime, if they refuse to continue censoring content they dislike.

SOPA changes name to CISPA

Change of plans, or more of the same? No more SOPA, now it's called the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act  (CISPA) - the bill that will allows ISPs to collect info on their subscribers (data retention) and subject to be forwarded to the government when requested, and it's all in the name of cybersecurity or copyright infringement. Plus law enforcement and internet security providers already have ways to go after cybercriminals and the like.

Lewd online conduct on the web could soon be illegal in Arizona

If Arizona's harsh immigration law isn't enough, then how about this? The lawmakers have approved and updated an existing telephone harassment law that will apply to the Internet and other electronic communications, and the people of Arizona are really steamed on this one.
