The president of the United States has extraordinary power in our country. He is ultimately the one that decides where our money goes, where our troops are stationed, and countless other things.
Well who would have thought that he would have the power to cut off internet power throughout the whole country with one switch!
A new Senate bill has proposed that the president could have the authority to "seize control or even shut down portions of the Internet." That idea is completely insane in my eyes! Why would the President need the authority to do this. I believe that nothing should be kept hidden from us.
It's crazy to think that technology is this advanced and that a "Kill Switch" is possible. This just comes to show us how powerful the internet can be, how much information can be found in a short amount of time.
So powerful and advanced that the president might be given authority to obtain this "Kill Switch!"
