The Internet is now used all around the world as a source of information and communication. However, it's often controversial, so many people think it needs to be controlled. Others believe there should be no interference whatsoever.Discuss both points of view, and give your opinion.

Recent technological developments have turned the world into an
information
ocean. The era in which we live became the era of
information
. The
Internet
has widely spread all around the world and it is in use as a communication channel.
However
, there is a debate in the society that it needs to be controlled by the authorities or there should be full freedom.
Firstly
, the
internet
is being used for different purposes nowadays
such
as work, education, and fun. Beside that, the worst goal of the use is child abuse, pornographic content, and sexual harassment. Since the
internet
does not have any usage license like a driving license, it has been used by different types of people
such
as those who have psychical problems and inadequate intentions.
As a result
, these people might misuse the
internet
for their evil goals so that they can put them in an inappropriate situation because of no limitation.
For instance
, in my country, some psychologically sick people abused small children and got their private photos and treated them for sexual activity because of that some children have committed suicide.
This
harassment is a crime and needs to be punished strongly.
Secondly
, freedom is the best feeling for humankind. People would like to have full control, flexibility.
Moreover
,
information
should not be a hidden gem for the public as well. It should be accessed freely.
Nevertheless
, some countries have been applying censorship to some content to protect their authority and wealth.
For instance
, in my country, social media had blocked for 2 years to maintain the peoples' perception and control them.
This
is not a democratic method and censorship needs to be avoided dramatically. In conclusion, the
internet
should be reachable and
information
should be open and accessible by everyone. To mitigate the risk of abusing children, there should be a mechanism which is provided by authorities that measures the users' maturity and psychological level and give an endorsement, so that they can use the
internet
freely after taking
this
certificate.
