Topic Discussion 3: Internet Censorship [by Grace Ngeau 1112700346]

Who regulates the Internet? In my research through Internet, there is no specific person or organization that regulates it but there is some related information can be found in MCMC site. 
Regarding about the censorship of Internet, I personally think that there is no answer for it. It can be yes or no in certain way. Internet censorship should be practice but in a positive way. I agree that things In the internet should be filter to prevent unneccessary rumours spreading out but in the same way things posted in the internet could be mediate and we might not know the real truth. It is a very subjective question to be answered. Anyhow, censorship should be practice but not over do it.

  1. IMO, filtration of things in the internet might not be good in certain ways. Sometimes those filtered content might tweak the truth. That will make information become unreliable. But I've no say about it, because it's just a thought. Perhaps negative sites should be block. That could be better.

  2. Agree with what you've mentioned about things posted in the internet could be mediate and in the end, no one will know the truth and as Michelle said, filtering the content MIGHT tweak the truth. Furthermore, we couldn't be filtering each and every content before posting them on the Internet as it's opened to public and who knows how many posts have been posted up on the internet while I'm typing this.

  3. Yes, very agree, that the answer regarding to censorship will be yes or no. Yes, it's because there are a lot of uncomfortable websites that allowed children to enter. No, because parents or family has the responsibility to avoid their children to enter that kind of sites. There is still a lot of information or websites that needed to view by children nowadays. Totally agree with you!

  4. There are too many of rumors on the Internet. Many of the Internet users sharing the news(rumors) without checking whether it is the truth. And some of them never think of what they're doing, whether they're doing the right thing or not. Internet censorship actually brings both positive and negative effects to us, the Internet users. For me, I personally think that it should be limits to everything and of course, not too much of it. :)
