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?

Internet

is considered as a stepping stone of globalisation because it allows everyone to connect or share with no geographical

boundations

.

However

, many countries are mulling towards curbing of freedom over

internet

to reduce

cyber-crimes

crime committed using a computer and the internet to steal a person's identity or sell contraband or stalk victims or disrupt operations with malevolent programs

cybercrime

and keep its citizens safe. In my opinion, control of

internet

Suggestion

the internet

would only expose the

netizens

to snooping by the

government

and could barely save them from

cyber

attacks.

Hence

, I do not support

this

idea at all and

reasons

Suggestion

the reasons

for the same are explained below. Undoubtedly, governments all over the

want to keep their people safe in

When a

government

restricts

freedom by recording every transaction taking place over it,

wantedly

or

unwantedly

, it stores data which could be private to so many people.

Therefore
