Donald Trump: America Should Consider "Closing the Internet Up In Some Way" (dailydot.com)
Patrick O'Neill writes: Hours after Donald Trump suggested the U.S. ban Muslims from entering the United States, the leading Republican presidential candidate said America should also consider "closing the Internet up in some way" to fight Islamic State terrorists in cyberspace. Trump mocked anyone who would object that his plan might violate the freedom of speech, saying "these are foolish people, we have a lot of foolish people ... We have to go see Bill Gates," Trump said, to better understand the Internet and then possibly "close it up."
Ironic isn't it that Trump wants to kill the very instrument that would be most effective in de-radicalizing people?
Free speech and free flow of information does more good than harm. Seems counter intuitive to lock violent radicals out of the very information that could change their minds, educate the ignorant, and carry a non violent message.
Sure terrorists use the Internet to recruit. But how many people did not join up because of information on the Internet?
Are we really so scared that we will turn proto-fascist?

America should consider ignoring Donald Trump in every way. The guy is the political equivalent of a troll. He adds nothing but noise to the political debate. It merely deflects attention from things that actually matter.
just clog the tubes
"We have a lot of foolish people" If that's not irony, I don't know what is.
... Does this man really exist?
He's like Hitler. Using my account because I actually believe this now. I rejected my friends' comments as silly Godwin-law rhetoric until now.
What is the disease does this country have in listening to people like this? I realize there are other candidates that are clearly not all there upstairs but when is this Trump shit gonna go away. Fuck that idiot and fuck his hi-jacking of the discussion.
"We have to go see Bill Gates," Trump said, to better understand the Internet and then possibly "close it up."
Doesn't Trump mean Al Gore?
"We have to go see Bill Gates," Trump said, to better understand the Internet and then possibly "close it up.""
Why Bill Gates? We all know he has nothing to do with the internets and it was Al Gore the one who invented it. But, of course, Trump wouldn't engage a dem even to save the country of those pesky... well, everybodies.
Jeb Bush has summed up Trump very nicely, and in a single word: "Unhinged".
Il n'y a pas de Planet B.
Meanwhile Eric Schmidt proposes a ContentID-like system to suppress "hate speech".
Pick your poison, left or right, up or down, makes no difference.
Balkanize the Internet and you will quickly see it's usefulness undermined by the "dark web". See all the VPN services to see American content already.
See what happens in China, Iran and Turkey already. Clamp down on anything, and thousands of VPN's and proxies show up.
If you want to "clamp down on anything" start making it illegal for proxies, content distribution networks and internet service providers from side-stepping censorship by using the "we're only a conduit" defense. Literately tell them, if you are providing DNS, that is the same as providing a phone book, hence you can tear the pages out of the phone book that let others find the criminals.
That may create a "dark web" for piracy, terrorists like 8chan and childporn dumps, but, it makes it a lot easier to go to ISP customers and go "Look, we made it hard to access the dark web on purpose, so if you're going swimming in the dark web sewer, we know you are up to no good."
This is a direct attack on Freedom. Censorship does not protect Americans, it hinders us. If anybody needed any evidence that Trump is just a R.I.N.O. and not to be trusted, this is it.
Look, the New World Order have selected two candidates that will work for THEM, and they seem to have selected Clinton for the Democrats, and Trump for the Republicans, with Alternates as Sanders and Bush or even Christie. None of them can be allowed to win because they work for the bankers.
I think it's too late to avoid a world war or even a civil war in the United States, but our best chance is Rand Paul, and he will have my vote even if I have to fill in a write in ballot.
HAHAHAHA Because Bill Gates, of all people, understood the internet from the get-go.
It's not a series of tubes, it's a Tidal Wave.
Cut to the chase, Trump supporters. Upstream of using the Internet is thinking. Thinking leads to bad thoughts, and bad thoughts lead to bad acts. Our only hope now is to outlaw thinking. Do it now! For the children ...

America: The Don Should Consider "Closing the Don's Pie-Hole Up In Some Way"
Left MS Windows for Linux Mint and never looked back!
Vote for Bernie in 2016!
I dont care how crazy it comes off or about getting modded down. Trump is a ringer who's only purpose is to make sure no Republican candidate has a chance in the elections.
The Internet Should Consider "Closing Up Donald Trump In Some Way"
Probably not that many. All of the schools of "radical Islam" were in existence and active well before the Internet, but the Internet has given them an unprecedented ability to reach out to Muslims very far away from their core audiences such as Muslims in Malaysia and Indonesia which were prohibitively expensive and difficult to reach in pre-modern times.
With the advent of broadcast communication, radicals were able to start reaching their diasporas and Muslims outside of the normal stomping grounds of the radical schools based in the Middle East. The Internet not only enables that broadcasting, but enables dialogue. It's now possible for radical imams and jurists in the Middle East to do more than a fire-side chat with young Muslims across the world, they can actually engage them as pupils and groom them personally.
I absolutely do not support Trump's proposal, but guys like you are precisely the sort of idealists that he will steamroll over without any effort in the public spotlight. Everyone else out there can see that as a matter of fact, the Internet enables terrorist recruitment probably 10x better than broadcast media did in the 60s to late 80s/early 90s.
The way I talk about the Internet is the way most gun rights activists talk about guns. I care more about freedom than security. "If it saves one life" is not an argument to me. I'd rather lose lives in the name of freedom than save lives in the name of security.
Please don't vote this idiot into power.
Thank you.
The rest of the world.
Because Trump said 'internet', this somehow qualifies as tech news I wanted to know about on slashdot? Shame. Quit feeding the bear, ladies and gentlemen. Eventually, it will leave and not come back.
You know SNL has really hit it over the top this year with this Donald Trump for president running gag.....
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
Which country is calling? The country of UNIX? The country of the Chrysler 440 cubic inch engine? Throw the clown out and be American Americans!
I hadn't the slightest objection to his spending his time planning massacres for the bourgeoisie... (P.G. Wodehouse)
Nixon will be considered a good president compared to the last two ass clowns and if we elect trump,,,,,Oh my!
Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels.
He's just saying whatever it takes to get the nomination in an increasingly radical party environment.
All he's REALLY interested in in getting big tax breaks for himself and his business/rich buddies. If he can do that by winning the Presidency, fine. If (more likely), he's just putting himself into a nice bargaining position to demand support of those cuts from whoever wants his endorsement later, that's fine too.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
Wouldn't Al Gore be the better person to talk to about changing internet Architecture?
Who know Putin and Trump agreed on something....
that keeps that hairpiece on the skull. It sinks in and poisons what's left of his brains.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
America should study if killing someone's family, even if "justified", leads to an emotionally unstable person who will do radical things to bring some emotional stability back into their lives.
And then stop doing it.
...and the democrats want to "kill the very instrument that would be most effective in de-radicalizing people" which are firearms.
There is no lack of firearms in the Middle East and yet their availability (and routine use) is clearly not slowing radicalization. Your argument makes zero sense and is clearly contradicted by the facts. Your notion that radicalization is effectively fought with firearms is not supported by the US Military. You cannot win a war of ideas with guns. All you can do is provide time and space for your own ideas. We've dumped trillions of dollars into wars in the Middle East and groups like ISIS are stronger than ever as a result. The ONLY thing that will ultimately defeat groups like ISIS is with speech and ideas. Firearms can only suppress them for a time at best. You don't win hearts and minds at the point of a gun.
I'm not for banning anything, but we should block hate speech or any speech associated with known or suspected terrorists.
You claim to not be for banning anything and then contradict yourself in the same sentence. So clearly you aren't in favor of free speech. Here's a hint - free speech doesn't just consist of speech you approve of.
Trump is a bit of a clown but he's saying what the people want to hear so what does that tell you...
It tells me that the people who are taking him seriously are idiots. The words "President Trump" should be terrifying to anyone with a functioning brain. What people need to hear and what they want to hear are frequently different.
Be that as it may, it's kind of depressing that these two are apparently the best with whom the largest and most powerful nation on earth can come up. :-/
Trump is making an effort to reach out to the bigots and racists who felt disenfranchised when a black president was elected.
Since muck-rakers like the Dailly Dot and Slashdot want to take the Donald out of context so lefty looneys can circlejerk with glee, I'll post the complete quote. At least the Daily Dot has the integrity to update themselves.
"We have kids that are watching the Internet, and they want to be masterminds. And then you wonder why we lose all these kids, they want to be masterminds; they're young, they're impressionable, they want to join ISIS.
And we have our anchors—I think I've got 'em mostly stopped, have you noticed that, they don't say it as much—but they say, the 'young mastermind', oh he's brilliant. I don't think he's got a high IQ. In Paris, I called him the guy with the dirty, filthy hat. 'K? Not a smart guy, a dummy. A mastermind? Bing bing bing, starts shooting everybody.
The press has to be responsible; they're not being responsible. We're losing a lot of people because of the Internet. We have to see Bill Gates and a lot of different people who really understand what's happening and maybe, in some ways, closing that Internet up in some ways.
Somebody will say, 'Oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech.' These are foolish people, we have a lot of foolish people. We've got to maybe do something with the Internet because they're recruiting by the thousands, they're leaving our country, and then when they come back, we take them back.
'Where were you?' 'I was fighting for ISIS.' 'Oh, come on back. Go home, enjoy yourself.' When they leave our country and they go to fight or go to ISIS, they never can come back."
I don’t know if it is good or bad that Trump and so many people in the US are so removed from reality. Trump wants to shut down the internet but the internet is this massive surveillance tool. There are intelligent people that think the US may become proto fascist. In the best of times the US is almost impossible to tell from real fascism. And now is not the best of times. Trump has this quality of nostalgia that some people find reassuring. It is very difficult to resurrect the dead. And the US democracy was very sick 40 years ago. Things have become much worse since then. I would be very happy if maybe future proto fascism was the problem. Where I'm at the dark future has already come.
Many people make fun of Donald Trump or don't take him seriously. What most don't realize is that he is represents the pinnacle of what the Republican Party has become. All that he says is little more than populist slurs and factually incorrect statements, barring any context. He is extremely anti social, anti socialist and very pro industry and military. He resents using government money for social programs but has no problems spending the same taxpayer money for military projects. His world view is an immature outlook where the US is at the center and the rest is a nuisance or a playground for the military. He willingly and knowingly misleads the public using fear, uncertainty and doubt tactics. When he's on television he revels in the attention and uses it to entertain people with outlandish rants and to polish his public image as an anti-establishment rebel, while saying absolutely nothing of consequence. He is the kind of person that can only appeal to, for lack of a better word: white trash and its scary that it has come so far that he reaches mass appeal in the US. Abraham Lincoln must be turning in his grave from what his party has become.
Outside of the USA, the USA doesn't have a great image. It never really had, to be honest.
And, unfortunately for the USA, Donald Trump is doing absolutely nothing to make that image any better.
If anyone were to look just at Donald and how he represents you guys, then they will see an idiot, a racist, a bigot, a religious intolerant... he posses, in their worst forms, all of the bad stereotypes applied to "Americans". And, in many ways, he is the most un-American person one could point to. Taking just the simplest of American values - Freedom: He wants to close down the internet, ban Muslims, and have everyone saying 'Merry Christmas', because that's obviously what Freedom means to him.
I really feel sorry for you guys. He really does make the whole country look like a joke. I dare not imagine what your country will become if he were to be elected.
To be honest, there's an awful lot of things that he says that reminds me of one Adolf Hitler.
- observations from an outsider.
Please please let this man NOT be the president of United States. He speaks like a retard and acts like Balmer on steroids.
I've always thought that Trump just does this because he likes the attention. His comments lately may be him trying to get out of the race.
Trump likes his riches too much to actually be president. It's never felt like he actually wants the job.
The reality that most people don't want to face is that Muslims are trying to kill people pretty much everywhere they come into contact with other cultures. Personally, I do not like religion, and this particular religion is not exactly benign. When will we stand up against it?
If we do not, then we will lose to it and humanity will be set back hundreds, if not thousands of years.
Doesn't seem all that unreasonable to me that when you're in a war, one of the main goals is to cut off your enemy's communications. The president may not admit it, but we are in a state of war. From my point of view, do what what needs to be done to wipe out the enemy as quickly as possible and let's get back to normal life rather than egging it on for decades.
Radical Islamist beat the drum of Israelis aggression towards Palestinians. Force Isreal to settle for a two state solution
What a dumb ass.
At first, I looked at Trump's rhetoric with a bit of curiosity, but now when he just spouts off about things he doesn't understand I just facepalm.
Does he really believe this stuff he's saying or is it an act? I really don't know.
One could say that is he dumb as a rock, but that would be offensive for (orange) rocks.
can someone in the states explain to this ape , that the internet has been designed and engineered to survive 90% destruction from catastrophic events like him actually getting a mic ?
Trump is a classic example of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagogue
I'm not sure why people are hammering Trump on this, he isn't saying anything different than Clinton or Obama.
Here is what Clinton had to say: “We’re going to hear all the usual complaints, you know, freedom of speech, et cetera. But if we truly are in a war against terrorism and we are truly looking for ways to shut off their funding, shut off the flow of foreign fighters, then we’ve got to shut off their means of communicating." And Obama has proposed outlawing encryption.
At least Trump has has the balls to admit that the media are part of the problem.
America: Donald Trump should consider "Shutting the Fuck Up in Some Way".
Both Trump and Clinton said the same thing. Why only attack one of them in the summary when the article criticizes both parties? This goes to show that both sides have no concern for the constitution, and are probably just pandering to fears.
The article says:
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton urged tech companies to “deny online space” to terrorists. Clinton then anticipated and waved away presumed First Amendment criticisms. We’re going to hear all the usual complaints,” she said on Monday, “you know, freedom of speech, et cetera. But if we truly are in a war...
Wow, she basically summarized the first amendment as "blah blah blah" and justified that it is okay to violate the constitution during wartime. This is the exact same kind of logic that was used 200 years ago that made us write those constitutional amendments. We have been fighting the same political battles for 200 years.
It should not too difficult to close this series of tubes... Right?
Is the Don quoting the Hillary and does he think that he came up with that? Anyway, I'm positive that such a proposal will find ample bipartisan support on this new side of Checkpoint Charlie.
This may be the most insightful comment in the entire discussion.
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
Irony is strong, its only freedom of speech that allows trump to voice hes opinions..
Look how well the Soviets did this in Afghanistan. Find the problem and eliminate it. Done and done.
Why can't we have even the slightest hint of he effectiveness of the Soviets? /s
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
No! We do not need to shut down the net in some way. We need to shut down Trump and I don't care how it is done.
Donald Trump wants to build a wall around the Internet to keep out the Mexicans.
than the sad little gun nuts infecting this country would loose their one and only excuse for avoiding the real problems. Other countried have mentally ill, yet the do not have a mass shooting of the day issue.
they did not change the definition. The FBI deals with mass killings, hence the number of people killed. gun fetishists seem to think that being shot but not killed is peaches and cream that we should all learn to live with so they can continue their perversion.
Umm, no.
We have a website that changed the definition of "mass shooting" so they could claim we had one almost every day. Using the standard FBI definition, we've had one every other month or so..
The "standard FBI definition" defines "mass murder", not "Mass shooting." Different things.
https://www.fbi.gov/stats-serv...
In any case, if you read the FBI documents, they state that there is no accepted definition.

Are we witnessing the final stages of some sort of Trump Rhetorical Singularity?
It seems like every news cycle he has to top himself by saying something even more hyperbolic, and that in the last week the velocity of the hyperbole has been noticeably accelerating.
At this rate, I assume that by Saturday he will be calling for the immediate launching of nuclear missiles against every country that might harbor terrorist, and where he goes after that nobody can even speculate.
Good times!
I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.
First he came for the Mexicans, but I was not afraid because I was not a Mexican.
Then he came for the refugees, but I was not afraid because I was not a refugee.
Next he came for the Muslims, but I was not afraid because I was not a Muslim.
Finally he came for the internet users, but all hell broke loose and everyone told him to fuck off.
Seriously though USA, wake up and see this dangerous man for what he is. If this is what he's willing to say when he needs the peoples' vote, just imagine how far he'd go with executive orders.
What's frightening is that you'd choose a crazy bigoted egomaniac over a fairly unremarkable Democrat who has become the devil incarnate to right-wingers somehow. I never understood the incredible amount of hate that US conservatives have for Hillary. Since she's a huge war-hawk by Dem standards, you'd think they might even find her more tolerable.

Kind of like how we 'closed the mail system' or 'closed the telephone and telegraph networks' we we found out that evil people could use those forms of communication to coordinate bad activities?
What do you expect, given folks on the right listening to Rush Limbaugh and similar for years and years? The chickens have come home. Whether they will lay eggs in the primaries is to be seen.
He's right. Trump's got a viable, terrible, but viable plan. It sure beats the hopey changey bullshit nothingness we've had for the last 6 years in which ISIS has exploded.
I applaud Donald Trump for calling into question the ruinous immigration policy that has not been working since 1965. The US needs to halt the current policy and calmly ask who to we want to let in, and why.
Ok, he's made billions some how he can't POSSIBLY believe this shit...he must be just pandering to the masses. The guy doesn't even sound sane any more...
Please instead use the politically correct term "interpersonal ballistic event", or IBE.
Sacred cows make the best burgers.
This guy sounds more like Hitler every time he opens his mouth.

Talk about a lesson in compromise, oh, the Irony.
It reminds me a lot of Cargo Cultism.
A lot of people think that associating themselves to selfish right wing politics they will also be successful, instead of recognising that is a consequence not the the cause.

Okay, let's think about this for a moment. So Obamacare is good 'cause it is left wing, right? But Obamacare's goal is to move the onus for having healthcare from an outside organization - aka government or employer -- providing health cover to the individual, and penalize with taxes. So tell me, what's more greedy? Right or Left?
The cure to Trump is a class action lawsuit by all US muslims for emotional distress. Crunching some numbers: 1.8 million US muslim adults times a mere $2,250 = $4.05 billion.
But Trump only has $4 billion. Welcome to the bottom 1%, Mr. Trump.
America: Donald Trump Should Consider "Closing His Mouth Up In Some Way"
How about if we close the internet to Donald Trump? Ie anything he says is filtered out. It might look the same to him?
If you replace "Muslim" with "Jew", and time warp it back to the 1930's, draw a funny little moustache on Donald, I ask if there is really any meaningful difference.
Maybe the Obama birthers should ask Donald for a DNA sample, just to be sure.
Trump ya feckin maggot faggot what this ppint of mentioning billy goat gates all he has done for the intetnet is make it a totally insecure place .
At first it was just going to the hilarity of his finger on the nuclear button.
But it just gets better every time it brings up an idea.
Look it all has to end sometime, it might as well at least by humorous.

You can't legislate against nutjobs with guns.
Australia did (both conservatives and liberals) and it appears to be very effective.
Most Americans seem to work from the basic principle that everyone will always have easy access to guns one way or another, and so it's pointless trying to legislate against them at all.
Whatever your position on gun control, it is certainly a fact that the US has a far higher proportion of people owning firearms than other countries, and so it would require a much more extensive government intervention.
When they basically banned handguns and most weapons except shotguns and hunting rifles in the UK, it only affected a tiny minority of people. There is no equivalent lobbying group to the NRA here, because it would basically just be comprised of farmers and grouse shooters, who know they will be allowed to keep their weapons anyway.

Now that the circle-jerk has died down, even the media are starting to backtrack on their reaction to Trump's words because he put them into the context of war-time national security and we are at war with Isis, radical islam, and radical muslims no matter what that llimp-dicked Obama wants to deny.
The left is terrified Trump gets that political correctness is killing both this nation and the world. Citizens with a clue are terrified of how much damage Democrats have inflicted on this country and the world in just the past 7 years.
Now all the Porn Boys have dropped their support for the Donald.
Feel the Bern
My theory is that Trump is going to keep be so outrageous that all the other GOP candidates will look like saints. At the last moment he'll drop out and the GOP will put a president in the White House. It could work.
of the road" and therefore electable without demonstrating what a real far right nut job is? The Republican party made a deal with Trump to make its real candidates look less nutty by having Trump act like a clown. Even Ted Cruz looks sane compared to Trump. THAT's exactly what they wanted. It hasn't cost them a dime in advertising because everywhere Trump goes and every time he opens his mouth the press is all over him. I wonder how much they are paying him for his circus side-show act?
Quote from Hillary:
"..Just as we have to destroy [ISIS’s] would-be caliphate, we have to deny them online space,” she said.

PRODUCTION HALTED
If I might play a bit of the Devil's Advocate here (I do oppose Mr Trump - in being a real threat to running any country), consider this: He is professing what he believes. And he is allowed to do that - by constitutional right (and, I believe, human right). Yet, I feel we all need to know much more details about his root reasonings. ESPECIALLY those that would vote for him! And, perhaps, find the flaw in his apparently twisted perceptions - for him or us - wherever it may be. Don't we owe it to ourselves and our fellow man to fully understand as much as possible. I think this all speaks to the right for all to know absolute truths, and what is a truth and what is not fact-based. C'mon, Don, please tell us all the full details of your plans. I will not even consider you as a candidate until I see some substance. Is it that you want to exceptionalize freedom of speech, or is it that you want the minds that hear stuff categorize things like your's does?!
Self-importance and self-indulgence is the root of ALL evil.
