Cyberspace – the interdependent network of information technology components that underpins many of our communications – is a crucial component of the Nation’s critical infrastructure. We use cyberspace to exchange information, buy and sell products and services, and enable many online transactions across a wide range of sectors, both nationally and internationally. As a result, a secure cyberspace is critical to the health of our economy and to the security of our Nation.
As I posted on twitter after seeing that: The use of the word "Cyberspace" to refer to the Internet helps us identify the idiots, old white guys and just generally clueless people.
The very disturbing thing is that "cyberspace" by term literally means the space between yours and my connection to the internet, be it phone line, cable, whatever.
Such broad usage of terminology and the idea of regulating it is wholly disturbing to me. This literally means everything from the last-mile connection from my ISP to my website is potentially up for interference from the government.
Why do I have the feeling that this will somehow be related to a massive crackdown on piracy?
