The internet was made
to make people’s lives much easier. Almost everybody in the universe use the
internet. They all use it for different reasons. Some use it to work; some use
it to do researches; some use it to study; some use it for simple entertainment.
However, many people in various countries around the world are not capable of
demanding their needs through the internet. This is because the country that
they live in censored their Internet. In my opinion I do not think that they
should control the freedom of people’s usage towards Internet. Others may
debate that due to the ability to post any sort of content I can be considered
that the Internet is littered with garbage therefore should be censored. On the
other hand, I very much believe that the Internet should remain open and free
and therefore never be censored regardless of what sort of content may appear
on the net.
Nothing in the Internet
is ‘garbage’. Others who are not pleased with that information just called it
‘garbage’. I am certain that there are
people out there who can take advantage of what others think as ‘garbage’.
North Korea will help me to draw a better illustration of this. There are
countless websites which North Korea banned its people from accessing. One of
these websites is the most useful website in the world, Google. They banned it
obviously because they think it is ‘garbage’. But how much limitless
information does Google provide? It almost always gives us answers to our
questions, solutions to our problems, and sometimes entertainments to our boredom.
I do not think that
anyone should make laws regarding Internet censorship; in matter of fact, I do
not think that there should be any laws telling people what to do and not to do
on the Internet. Because of many websites, such as Facebook, bonded a
tremendous amount of people together, any laws concerning Internet censorship
should not exist.
