I don't even know why they are pressing this. If there is ever a huge attack or incident or emergency, the Internet will shut itself down by all of the people trying to find out information. That's what happened on 9/11.

Not really. Only certain sites/servers went down due to traffic beyond its capacity.
The internet does not go down.
This bill seems to be a lot like disconnecting someone's phone.
