Some people say that there is too much harmful content on the internet. They say the only way to make the internet safe is for the government to censor the content of websites. To what extent do you think the government should control what information is available on the internet?
It is well known that there is a lot of dangerous information on websites;
therefore
, some people believe that local forces should outlaw harmful content
. But, in my opinion, governments must not ban any content
on the Internet because it damages people's freedom and parents need to control
their kids
by themselves.
Firstly
, citizens nowadays have a right to post any data, unless it breaks laws. Moreover
, it is almost impossible to distinguish between minors and residents who are above 18. In other words
, censoring webs does not only protect children but also
has a significant impact on adults. For example
, reducing the number of webs harms the quality of scientific experiments.
Secondly
, parents and guardians have many ways to stop kids
from using harmful content
without the government's contribution. For instance
, they can download apps that control
the usage of apps, so they are able to block dangerous websites. Furthermore
, they should explain to their offspring that the Internet has hazardous information. Finally
, if parents are not sure about children's safety, they should not introduce gadgets to kids
.
Admittedly, local forces must better control
banned content
because now it is easy to find both scams and content
of outlawed organisations, such
as terrorists. Frankly, there are countries that still don't have cyber police, whose goals are to capture hackers.
To conclude
, governments must not censor any content
that is
not already banned because eventually, they will ban everything, except cartoons for kids
. Moreover
, guardians need to control
children because they ought to pick by themselves what is safe.Submitted by leshchynser on
