In the years since, the internet has become a Battlefield rather than SanctuaryThat is why the Censorship become really important issue in recent time. According to this article reporting by Lisa Murray, 60 online journalist and blogger have been jailed because they internet was catch by internet censors created by Chinese Government. China also being really successful in containing the spread of" "unauthorized" information over the net, which many other country have followed it.
Those country which are Iran, Libya, Tunsia, Egypt and Vietnam force their internet service to provide s to apply filters, which block the dangerous website and blog.
After read and growing through this article, there is evidence and opinion about the Censorship. The first things I agree with Censorship when The US Government force search engines to hand over records so that it can defend a controversial internet pornography law.
Of course this is really positive things, the fact is this law really help the citizen especially to protecting children from hard-core photography. Another benefit for this censors is to decrease the sex criminal in their country.So, this censorship must be defend in all country.
However, My personal thought against the censorship law that China and Iran government have. China's Government censors tract down dissident and block unauthorized website so people or the company in China missing out their piece of the word's fastest growing market. Their must faced to have limited freedom to condemning Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft. This is really big disadvantages for China citizen, killing their desire to get the knowledge and information.
They modify of banned sites in Iran is already make without informing the viewers. This banned sites now already mentioning woman's right. The question is "why woman's right??". The censorship in Iran showing the fact that women has a big difficulty to getting know their Right.This is why My personal thought really against this censorship.
In addition Censorship could be a good things if we placed it in the right place. However it can be bad things when they start to decrease the development of information.

I totally agree with you Lani!
ReplyDeleteCensorships are so tight in some countries, but in contrary, other countries have such loose censorship. I think both of these conditions are not good for their citizens.
As an Indonesian, I feel that countries like Iran, Libya, Egypt, are so strict in censoring the internet and I do think that censoring pornography sites are necessary. But maybe there are some people who don't agree with me, maybe they think that censoring pornography sites is unnecessary.
Censorship is a relative thing.
Btw, I love your podcast! Especially the song. :)
Lani I think youve made some really good points and like Gladys I agree :) I also reveiwed this article and think the censorship topic is quite interesting and unfortunatly I think that censorship will only become stricter.
ReplyDeleteThank you for Gladys and Jasmine for your comment.
ReplyDeleteGladys, i think what you say is great things. Not all people will agree about our opinion. Like you said censorship is relative thing and i agree with with that. it's depends on people opinion to judge the censorship. Is it necessary things or not, but i thinks we still need the censorships.
Jasmine, like you said, i choose this topic because it's really interesting and challenging. Many country have their on comment about censorships. But still censorships still being controversial issue, because its involve many country.
Thank you for your comment, i really appreciate it...
