P2P Networks Harm National Security
According to a CNET news.com article "Politicians charged on Tuesday that peer-to-peer networks can pose a "national security threat" because they enable federal employees to share sensitive or classified documents accidentally from their computers." The article goes on to mention Limewire and says that P2P networks need to be properly restricted to minimize national security concerns, privacy, and copyright law violations.
No such action is being discussed with Usenet newsgroups since users do not share files directly from their PC's. If you would like to find out more about newsgroup access take a look at our Usenet Tutorial.
