The new policy on Internet governance is making the Web community accessible.
As an individual Internet user, I feel the process of China's website is going
on the rails. It is a right way to consider centralizing the global regulation
of the Internet.
It is right for the new regulations of China to address the problems facing
the Internet, such as violence, crime, pornography, anti-government, etc. It is
great to see a better web world in the future.
Chinese people were strange to the Internet even several years ago. But in
recent five years, the Internet has developed so quickly that there are over 100
million web users in China. It is a truth that, when so many people devote into
the web, the wrong people among will do something wrong on the web. They post
dirty words; attack dissidents in forums; spread unhealthy contents on the web.
They block the Internet developing to be multilateral, transparent and
democratic.
While a good website world should give net citizens room for cooperation and
for the exchange of views. It doesn't need to repeat the importance a good web
for the growing of children. Actually at most time, a web community contains
quite a few ethic problems. Take the children in elementary schools for an
example: when they need to get more information, the best way is to turn to the
Internet. Unfortunately, they enter a forum by chance, in which most topics are
about violence. Can you imagine how will that impact the children?
If a school has a direct Internet connection, then anyone, including
students, can access objectionable material. This is why it is important to
develop clear policies for use of the Internet. Rules should be set up to
enforce behavior and there should be consequences for those students who engage
in inappropriate behavior on the Internet. Also, schools should promote ethics
for the Internet such as current Internet issues and technology briefs.
At this point, it is difficult to regulate every part of the Internet. This
is partially because thousands of people donate information to the Internet
every day. However, there are many ways to effectively regulate certain parts of
the Internet so that people will be less able to access objectionable
material.
All in all, there will always be material on the Internet unsuitable for
people, and it would be a lifelong process to monitor and catch every bit of
objectionable material entering the Internet. People should be taught how to use
the Internet appropriately and constructively. When used correctly, the Internet
can be a powerful source of good information. The Internet makes information
accessible to people. The new Internet regulation would bring a better Internet
that truly everyone will be able to use without the worry of social conflicts
arising such as pornography, violence and explicit language.
