WHETHER THE INTERNET SHOULD BE CENSORED
WHETHER THE INTERNET SHOULD BE CENSORED These days the Internet has advanced at an alarming rate in the last 20 years. The Internet is an electronic communications platform that connects computer networks around the world. It is commonly recognised that Internet can help people finish what they would like to. Although plenty of people feel that Internet should not be controlled because people can freely access to information and the government can have less control over people thinking, it will be argued that Internet ought to be controlled for three main reasons: some negative information such as violent and pornographic contents are appeared on the Internet, Internet can exert the negative effects of national security, and some lawbreakers commit a crime via the Internet.
The first and most important reason to support Internet censorship is that the negative information on the Internet seriously influence people especially children. That is to say, when using the Internet, children do not have limitation to access a vast of information, thus, various news or events including pornography, fight and cheating are totally appearing in front of children, even the violence and anti-social behaviors. The fact is that children are too young to distinguish between right and wrong and they have poor self-control. This makes it easier for children to be seriously misled to the wrong way and prove detrimental physically and mentally. According to the data, it reveals that thirty-six percent children who accidently access to the negative information will go on finding similar information due to curiosity and then they over-indulge these. Hence, it is obvious that for the reason of children’s safety the Internet should be censored.
A second reason to support Internet censorship is that the Internet definitely threatens to national security. In other words, some other countries’ spies illegally obtain local country’s secrets such as army secrets
