FBI to get veto power over PC software?

[ottomobiehl]

The Federal Communications Commission thinks you have the right to use software on your computer only if the FBI approves.

No, really. In an obscure "policy" document released around 9 p.m. ET last Friday, the FCC announced this remarkable decision.

According to the three-page document, to preserve the openness that characterizes today's Internet, "consumers are entitled to run applications and use services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement." Read the last seven words again.

Apparently, while people have been bickering and arguing about the state of things in the U.S. or being preoccupied with the rich and famous in Hollywood, the Federal Government has been usurping more of our civil liberties. People seem to be asleep in the light in this country.
