White House rejects Boehner's claim Obama wants to control the Internet

An administration official slammed House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) after he claimed President Obama wants to "control the Internet." "The administration wants the U.S. government to have less access to information not an unlimited amount as the House Republican leadership and backers of [the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act] propose," the official said in a statement. "CISPA would trample the privacy and consumer rights of our citizens while leaving our critical infrastructure vulnerable." "We need Congress to address this critical national and economic security challenge while respecting the values of freedom, privacy, openness, and innovation so fundamental to our nation," the official said.
