Should the Internet Be Censored?

Should the internet be censored?

The internet is the last vestige of free media and press in the whole wide world. The internet is a far more powerful tool but unfortunately our politicians don’t seem to mix too well with technology and social media. Hence, I absolutely abhor the idea of a tyrannical government censoring. By censoring the internet they would be taking away the inherent right to freedom of speech. After an extensive research I have realized that via the internet you gain reliable resources, an array of communications and a vast amount of entertainment.
Firstly, the main purpose of the internet is to expand the depth of our knowledge. Nowadays, people of all age rely completely on the internet and most of them call the internet as ‘man’s best friend’. Websites such as Google, Wikipedia and many more provide dependable resources. For instance; Office work, homework, assignments and all information’s can be surfed via the internet. Besides gaining of knowledge, features such as maps, translation of language are some of the few available in the internet to assist people. Internet therefore has become an ocean of knowledge and every individual is a drop in it. Thus individuals have their information at their finger tip by the help of the internet.
In addition, people separated by distance sense much nearer and secured by the usage of the communication tab via the internet. Face-book, twitter are the two foremost social networking sites. People from different countries and states connect to each other for gratis. It is a public site where new friends are added and old friends are reconnected. Equally, Skype, What’s-app, Viber applications are available for friends and relatives far-off, to chat, video call, send files and many more. It is compatible for both youngsters and oldies. Such availability of various and free of charge communications doesn’t make distance a sticky situation.

Furthermore, entertainment has become necessitate for every individual of any age. Specifically, You-tube is the core source for entertainment. Music is the only companion during sour days and blissful days. Hence sites like you-tube provide music and video music of all genres and languages. Not only music but also movies, comedy, news, special events and talents are made available for viewers’ entertainment purpose. All music and movies can be uploaded and downloaded via the internet. Hence, entertainment for the public is highly dependable by the internet.

On the other hand, censorship is recommended mainly by government and many parents. Clearly, no right thinking wants their kids or their much younger sisters and brothers be watching or playing 18-rated movies and video games or dressing up like Lady Gaga or Nicki Minaj. Likewise, government and ministers are worried if information or rumours would spread via the internet. For several others, internet consumes most of their time rather than doing essential needs.
However, the attempt of censorship will restrict the privacy of ordinary internet users. Perhaps, pornography and other objectionable materials can be obtained elsewhere such as Cd’s and Dvd’s. Radios, magazines, televisions and ample other media endow with rumours and false information as well. Usage of internet in a time limit and blocking matured sites for children eventually increases the purpose of the internet.
But let’s make bones about it. Consequently, there is cosmic number of purposes by the usage of internet. Remarkably, gaining knowledgeable resources, communication and entertainment are the three main purposes by the internet. Hence, Internet should not be censored, because it is all about taking responsibility for what you and I as consenting as responsible adults see and do on the internet.
