Coming Soon: Government-Issued Hall Passes
to Function on the Internet
The government’s unhealthy interest in the Internet is indeed worrisome. Uncle Sam is clearly developing a capability to issue cyber “hall passes,” without which you may ultimately be blocked from commerce on the Internet! Let me get down to more recent actions the government is taking to muck up the Internet’s future development:
The Obama Administration (as well as the usual crowd of politically sophisticated, well-connected, crony capitalists) is pushing a new regulatory scheme, the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace. The core of the plan is for the Commerce Department to issue “trusted” communication certificate through most, if not all, U.S. service providers of the World Wide Web.
The justification of such government-issued digital certificates, the Administration says, is to ensure the “integrity” of financial transactions and communications. This is a step toward both taxation and government control.
Not to worry, White House Cybersecurity Czar Howard Schmidt assures one and all, “I don’t have to get a [government-issued] credential if I don’t want to.” Unfortunately, the unspoken part of this promise is that regulatory authorities – as part of a well-established pattern – are in a position to “encourage” Internet providers to only do business with web surfers who “agree” to accept Uncle Sam’s digital certificates.
