Unintended consequences aside, this is less about a kill switch or government censorship and more about forcing a industry that has not taken security seriously

Unintended consequences aside, this is less about a kill switch or government censorship and more about forcing a industry that has not taken security seriously to get their act together.
Many providers don't actively police their customers for botnet activity or respond to security incidents that don't affect their network infrastructure or back office systems.
This appears to establish a regulatory framework where network security officially becomes more than a law enforcement issue.
