The article seems to say that the only extra control is over governmental "cybersecurity", whatever that is.

Still, this seems like a mistake, given DHS' love of rules and procedures, coupled with its inability to perform any process more elaborate than closing a door. Perhaps DHS own "Blogger Bob" could explain this move in a way that won't draw any reports of simple logical errors.

I think Blogger Bob is the TSA? But the DHS is the ones that were behind the seizure of "torrent" domains, without any kind of court ruling or trial.

I wish we had access to the proposed legislation.

I find the idea of the white house writing secret legislation to be very troubling.
