The government should control the internet to reduce cyber-crime and ensure safety of users. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

The increased use of
internet
has given rise to many serious problems
such
a
cyber
bullying, hacking
cyber
fraud etc. I agree with the notion that, government should take some steps to stop the undue usage of
internet
.
To begin
with, due to easy accessibility of
internet
, people are finding new ways to commit a crime. There are several fraudulent
websites
that are meant to hack the personal information of people like bank account details and residential address.
Moreover
, many people easily get trapped by these deceitful
websites
and lost their money. Even many
internet
users get suspicious emails from unknown people.
For instance
, many times I get emails of winning money and
thus
they ask me to give my bank information. To save people from
such
crime, the government should ban
such
dubious website. Various techniques
such
as a firewall should be used to monitor the continuous activities of these
websites
.
In addition
, the uncontrolled usage of the
internet
is making a negative impact on youngsters, many teenagers get addicted to pornographic
websites
and spoil their life. The Number of adolescents has become the victim of the
cyber
bullying, which resulted in many cases of suicides.
For example
, an online game named blue whale, asks children to do some unpleasant tasks that lead to many suicides among the children. So, the youngsters are the future of the country, there safety is the primary thing for us. Government should enforce stringent laws and punishment for
cyber
bullying.
This
practice may overcome the misuse of the
Internet
. In conclusion, in
this
era of media and technology, criminals use the
internet
as an easy source to do crime.
Therefore
, it is the responsibility of the government to save people's lives by controlling misleading information on the
internet
.
