Hi,
A good topic for debate!
Freedom of access and open access is the slogan today. The support for and opposition to Internet censorship varies on country-to-country. Internet Censorship acts as a viable method by governments and organizations to manage/ prevent access to copyrighted information; restrict people from viewing harmful or sensitive content etc. On the other hand Internet Censorship violates the right to freedom of speech and expression which will help concentration of power to block access to honest criticism on government.
Internet Censorship if applied in a thoughtful, measured way it can protect vulnerable populations including children, reduce hate crimes and terrorism.
Well, Dr. Ganic,
Yes, I do! But, as we know, there is no free lunch... so, I would be afraid about... "how we´ll be paying in fact" the free access...
I support internet openness but with reservations on violent material and of course terrorist recruitment.
Depends on the information one needs. If it's for information related to academics, internet openness is need of the hour. However, if it's for information concerning some classified data, internet censorship is important.
