The problem of Internet censorship Censorship is the control of information and ideas that circulate within a society (“What is censorship”, n.d. ). Internet censorship is the same thing; it is control of what you can read, access, or post on the Internet. The Internet is expanding day by day, which means it has become a place where people share thoughts and opinions that can be disrespectful, dangerous, or even harmful. This causes many problems and problems in a society. However, this topic is debated among people all over the world. Some people argue that Internet censorship is safe as it protects their children or society and prevents unwanted information and threats. On the other hand, others have different opinions that Internet censorship limits people's knowledge or does not give them freedom of speech. But just like any other topic, Internet censorship has both pros and cons. Reasons for Internet Censorship There are many reasons for Internet censorship, but they all fall into three categories: political reasons, protection of social norms, and security reasons. Internet censorship is used for political reasons when it comes to countries that do not allow free speech or fair elections or when the ruler tries to maintain power, Internet censorship is used to limit people's knowledge about what is happening in the country or to censor religious sites so that the country remains safe. However, this type of censorship primarily serves to ensure that any threat that may affect the ruling power is not seen by the people. On the other hand, when it comes to protecting social norms, Internet censorship is used in another way. In some countries, sites that may disturb children are... half paper... they make sure that our children can live an innocent and happy life without being exposed to many different things." (The Internet needs censorship, nd) Some people think that Internet censorship is safe for their children and prevents them from accessing websites that are not suitable for their age. Conclusion To summarize, Internet censorship is a global problem in our times, but although it has a negative impact on society, it can be beneficial in some ways. Internet censorship is different in each country, but it is all for one cause: to protect society. Forms of censorship that have been implemented or are being considered, include blocking and the filtering of specific sites and the monitoring of email and web browsing, should be examined and considered with an eye to both the precedents and historical role of free expression in a free nation (Examining Internet Censorship, n.d.)
