Internet use in North Korea is restricted to internet cafes or hotels designated for foreign tourists in Pyongyang, connected via a satellite link. A few of the government elite with state approval are connected to the internet via a link to China.[47] The general population of North Korea do not have internet access. North Korea itself has a very minimal presence on the internet, with none of its newspapers having their own sites, while KCNA's website is hosted in Japan. Exiled North Korean journalists contribute to online sites and the blogosphere.[1]

Alot of people get harmed using the internet. It cause severe psychological damages on some individuals. Gets people to believe in total lies. It can also be used for many forms of cyber terrorism.
Not only do we need a switch but I think we also need some sort of a form of internet "police" or security to protect us from such terrorist.
Ha you site wikipedia is a reference to something you post about the kill switch. Wikipedia is about as valid as astrology. Wake up to the truth!
In computer software The concept of "kill switch" may also be applied to software as an anti-piracy feature, most notably in Windows Vista. It renders the software essentially useless to users running what is determined by the software author to be an illegitimately obtained, or pirated, copy. In the example of Microsoft Windows, the company developed a verification tool named Windows Genuine Advantage, that originally activated a kill switch, or reduced functionality mode, on what Microsoft's mandatory software's deemed to be an unlicensed copy of the operating system. Software kill switches have been shown to have varying degrees of success, as false positives have been known to occur[1], prompting some vendors like Microsoft to "turn off" the software kill switch in response to market pressure. There is some anecdotal evidence that some software vendors install kill switches in their software to enforce [2] planned obsolescence, also known as a forced upgrade. This can cause considerable disruption[3] in said customer's business functions.

Thank you to all the people who responded to my question instead of calling me some sort of an "agent". I am on a personal quest for truth. I am not set on a straight path, there will be some things that I believe in and find out are wrong. I am trying to do my own research and challenge the opposition to see if I can find facts that I did not stumble upon in my own research.
snippage....
I am also not against a global government. In school we learn that globalization is the FUTURE. Globalization has more pros than cons when I weigh them out. I think alot of people are set in their ways and fear a one world government because they can't comprehend it and are afraid of the IDEA of CHANGE.
I am open to debate!
If you can convince me otherwise I will be more than thankful.
