Senate Cybersecurity Bill Bill Mirrors Russian Internet Agenda
http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/31/senate-cybersecurity-bill-mirrors-russian-internet-agenda/
Ironically, similar language to the Russian and Chinese proposal can be found in Section 603 of the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, which is sponsored by independent Sen. Joe Lieberman and cosponsored by Republican Sen. Susan Collins and Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein, John D. Rockefeller IV and Sheldon Whitehouse.
