Internet should be...

I know, I know, my blog has been getting more boring than ever before...
I have lots of things I want to write about my daily lives, but let me prepare for EIKEN!


Should Internet be tightly regulated?


The more Internet has been familiarized, unfortunately, the more crimes and suicide have been brought by suggestions from Internet. However, this essay will argue that Internet tight regulation is not necessary.

First, it is very hard to decide whether the web-site is harmful or not. It is impossible to read through every Web-site. I heard if the Web-site includes one (so-called) "harmful" suggestion or statement, the Web-site would be marked as "dangerous" even though another whole parts are completely reasonable. That is insane. Even if the government regulates all Japanese Web-sites, they can't prohibit people from reading We-sites aboard. As a result, I think it is impossible to regulate Internet.

Secondly, the Internet situations will become worse if the government regulate Internet tightly. Because of the cost, the broadband expense has to be much higher. Probably, we will have traffic jam on computers if they check Internet regularly. Most people can avoid harmful invitations on Internet, so to keep the comfortable situation for them is an important issue.

However, I think we need to regulate for juveniles not to read harmful sites such as pornography, invitations for crime, or suggesting suicide because they are not mature enough to judge them. For example, "putting the security marks on each appropriate sites, and parents can set computers not to read Web-sites without the security marks." To protect our children, I agree with this idea.

Nowadays, we can not live comfortably without Internet. We want to use Internet not as "whisper of the devil," but very convenient helper. Internet has also very private aspects, so we should argue the regulation seriously.
