Yes, the main thing that concerns me is that the public will eat up the
crap that the news media is going to put out about the Internet. By the
time that they are done, anyone who uses PGP will be a "terrorist,"
"drug-dealer," etc..
On one of the news shows the day after the bombing - the anchor said
something like "... and these fringe groups keep in contact by using the
'Inter Net' [sic] computer network."
This is the same thing that happened here in SF with the 101 California
shooting, it was seized upon by politicians and the media as an excuse to
ram a stupid assault weapons ban down our throats. This media event will
be an excuse to ram Internet censorship up our butts.
All in the name of "votes" and "ratings."
