Week 3 Discussion

Unit 3: Discussion

Censoring the Internet

Introduction:

Many countries, such as China, have laws that control the content of the Internet and restrict their citizens’ access to information. The United States, with the exception of specific areas such as cyberbullying and child pornography, doesn’t currently take steps to restrict its citizens’ access to the Internet. Unfortunately, this freedom of information does carry some cost because some information on the web can potentially be dangerous to the general public.

Discussion Questions:

1.      Do you think the U.S. government should censor information on the web, such as instructions for making weapons, to protect the general public? Why or why not? If you think there should be some censorship, do you think such a law would violate the First Amendment right to free speech? Explain your answer.

2.      Would you be willing to live with a lower level of information access to increase your sense of well-being? What topics do you feel would make you feel more secure if they were censored?

Directions:  

Post your response to the discussion question by Thursday at 11:59 pm. Return to the discussion later in the unit to respond to at least two other student posts for full credit. Please respond to all parts of the question.
