Topic Discussion 3: Internet Censorship [by Bibiana Eu Ee 1112700503]


Who regulates the internet?
I think there’s no one regulating the internet. Because the internet is just run by multiple people who web sites. The government is trying to regulate it but they haven't succeeded yet. What I can get from internet research, there is some internet regulation groups. Example: The Internet Society, the Internet Architecture Board, Internet Engineering Task Force, InterNIC, PFIR-People for Internet Responsibility, ICANN.org.

Do you think there should be internet censorship? Why?
My answer will be no. Actually the internet already has censorship. I don’t think the internet needs anymore censorship. Yes, maybe it might need more, but it must have a limit there.  I opposed censoring the internet. Why? It should fall under the freedom of the press and freedom of speech. Everyone should be allowed to post whatever they want.

  1. IMO, somehow I think that when everyone have the freedom to post anything they like, this will make them do things without thinking because they tend to judge themselves that they are always right. This will bring negative effect to the current community and the future generations. Perhaps a little extra censorship is good :)
