ID Tokens to Use the Internet

In addition to the previous post about giving the President the authority to shut down the Internet for up to 120 days without approval, there are now reports, per http://www.infowars.com/, of the following:

"...the government’s cybersecurity strategy revolves around issuing Internet users with ID “tokens” without which they will not be able to visit websites, the latest salvo against web freedom which, in combination with Senator Joe Lieberman’s ‘kill switch’ bill, will serve to eviscerate the free Internet as we know it."

Obama's Internet Kill Switch Bill

What do you think about this?

The United States Senate has approved a bill that gives President Obama the means to force internet service providers to shut down the internet up to 120 days before he needs Congressional approval to extend it further than the 120 days.  It's called Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act.  It also means the government is getting bigger with the creation of the White House Office for Cyberspace Policy and a National Center for Cybersecurity and Communications department. 

Obviously, there is controvery surrounding this bill with an Australian newspaper noting "saying any action would disrupt other countries as most of the critical internet infrastructure is located in the US" here.

Critics within the United States fear that freedom of speech will be violated.
