The advantages of internet censorship
The internet censorship can be a protection measure. As the internet is
open and comprehensive, the quality and authenticity of internet
information is questionable. There are a lot of undue materials online,
such as pornography and violence, which undoubtedly exerts a negative
influence on people especially children physically and psychologically.
Although there are several laws which regulate the illegal information and
illegal activities, the laws are not complete enough to regulate all the
illegal or immoral activities. It is very hard to charge a person for internet
crimes, especially if the person is from a foreign website. Thus, the illegal
activities and undue information are still rampant on the internet. Thus,
internet censorship is needed for internet regulation. The censorship of
internet can cleanse the internet information and protect people to some
extent.
The censorship of internet can filter the inappropriate information online
and protect children from disturbing websites, such as, child pornography,
sexual violence and detailed instructions in crime or drug use. The undue
internet information may weaken children’s moral consciousness and
pollute children’s soul. Thus, the undue websites can have a severely bad
effect on the healthy growth of children or even cause adolescent crime.
However, children are easy to contact undue internet information. Since
parents can not monitor the web pages that children browse in any time
and at any place, the censorship of internet can help the parents to filter
undue websites for children and protect them from the misguidance and
negative influence of internet. An opinion survey carried out by a
professor in Charles Sturt University found that parents were worried
about the pornographic content on the internet. In order to protect
children from the negative influence of extreme, violent and pornographic
information, 93% parents support the mandatory internet filtering.
The censorship of internet can help women. In order to get more click rate
and benefits, many “adult” websites advocate violent sexual abuse of
women. Many women suffer from the hell made by the internet because
the internet makes them sold into slavery through the international sex
trade (Mallisk, D., 2009). The censorship of internet can block access to
these websites, regulate or even shut down some of these websites, and
thus reduce the sexual exploitation of women in the internet. Thus, the
censorship of internet can protect women to some degree.
The censorship of internet can guard people from the disturbing email
spam. For many net citizens, junk email is a troublesome problem. Some
