You can bet that every tragedy that befalls us will be followed by legislation that is designed to "protect " us by limiting our rights. In this instance, I think the attack will be against internet freedoms, not the totalitarian nightmare that is drone surveillance. I don't think we have to worry about that until Americans' ability to Organize is completely destroyed.

And part of that is clamping down on the internet. Probably will be characterized as "trying to prevent people from self-radicalizing ". The ultimate target being American citizens who might try to protest government policy.

OWS is a prime example...
