Internet
#1
Some people think the internet is bad because of piracy (huh, where:grin: ), the exchange of terrorist information, and seriously twisted org. that promote child porn... What do you think??  Should governments filter whats on the internet or should it be left in the peoples hands only??

Ex. China's government filters e-mail so that it has a pro-gov't stance...

Now THIS is a good topic and at first I was totally unsure of where to side... but I have to say this, people should have total control of what they look at and create on the internet as is the internet's main purpose, a form of communication. Now as for children being caught by predators and such, there should really be parental supervision in all homes with minors and internet access. As for child porn websites I just hope to god that the authorities can get to these sites as quickly as possible to get rid of them.

hmm...well when i think about it...i think that people should have total control over the internet...
but on the chance that some1 comes across something as bad as child porn(ewww) then they should tell the government or some1 who can do something and get rid of it
but the government should not filter anything like how china does..thats invasion of privacy and that stops peoples opinions...

exactly...the communist regime needs to come down! although thats a different discussion for a different time...

but..i think that the government should be able to filter things like child porn and other abominations like that...but there is an extent to what they can do before it simply becomes censorship

I don't have much to say about this but I'll make my points simple.

The internet has been a way of life for many of us, whether it be Ebay...or watching pointless videos on Youtube. The internet is full of dangers and full of fun as well. Child Porn should not be even allowed to be here or even made in my opinion, but that is how sickos make money these days.

For government filters, that's just a complete invasion of privacy. If that were to happen to the U.S, what's the point of the country being 'free?"

The internet is a way to make something happen. Even if filter out things, you can't filter them all. New sites will be created and terrorist talking? That's bs. They do that by phone and personal talking. If you were to be a traitor to your country, you would do it by other means than internet.

I think the internet should belong to the people. But little by little governments are realizing how valuable the internet is for people to express opinions, and in these cases something like what china does occurs...
Also, e-mails are becoming more frequently used then the postal service, so congress tried to get a law passd that would tax you every time you sent an e-mail (US only of course).

The internet is the medium for sex predators to share what they have... but I dont think that gives governments the right to filter through our stuff. However, they do use that as an excuse...
