While
some people believe that there is significant harmful content on the internet and the only way that can be safe is if the
government
censor the content of websites, I strongly believe that the
government
should control only the information
that is
harmful to individuals or can commit a crime through regulations. Some countries have censored information from around the world, which cannot help them to open their minds and have more independent intellectual thinking. China is an example of
this
censorship
, they cannot access American content because the
government
believe can be harmful to their dictatorship and the belief system of the nation. Iran indeed is another country that has strong
censorship
. Another example of the fact that I aforementioned before is that one girl was imprisoned because she shared a TikTok video dancing.
Furthermore
, the video was censored because was considered offensive from the
government
's perspective.
On the contrary
, other countries have less strong
censorship
that can lead to committing crimes through the internet.
For instance

were caught that could have an in-person meeting to commit the crime. These facts describe the necessity of having regulations and laws that can fight cybercrime.

However
