I believe that there is no one who really regulates the internet. Although the government is trying to do so but actually they have not succeeded. Internet is free as everyone can build a website and post anything they want to. So, it is quite hard if you really wanted to regulate or control the whole of it. However, there are some internet regulation groups that always work behind the scenes for keeping everything run semi-smoothly. ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), a technical coordination body for the internet. The Internet Architecture Board, responsible on internet standards and oversight. PFIR-People for Internet Responsibility, the people are concerned about the present and future operations, development, management, and regulation of the internet. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), a regulator for the converging communications and multimedia industry in Malaysia.
What I prefer is the internet censorship should be there as we knew that it is hard to prevent the sale of snuff movies or pornography. Anonymous everything on the internet creates a huge opportunity for the criminals to abuse the medium. But I think that the internet filter can be improved and allows for a more open, fair or honest opinion on what should be filtered, provided with a warning or remain open.

I agree that the Internet filter system can be improved and provide a warning to poster who have posted unpleasant content.
ReplyDeleteSimilar to youtube, they send a warning or statement, informing their users who've violated the rules of posting videos. However, youtube deals more on the copyright issue of a certain entertainment company.
Ya, agree that internet creates a huge opportunity for the criminals to abuse the medium. Hope the internet filter can be improved and those negative website can be eliminate as far as possible.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm agree what jennyi mentioned. Internet consorship should more concern about that the internet filter system. Not only on Youtube, should cover all the social network like Facebook, Twitter or even Google witn a warning banner or poster.
