Here is a good end-of-the-week topic for discussion…should the 'internet kill switch' power be curbed? I guess that depends on who you ask, right? Politicians no doubt like the switch. Skynet, not so much.
Under a World War II-era law, the US president appears to have authority to disconnect computer systems and servers from the internet in the event of a national emergency. But the next US Congress is poised to change that.
