x. My Ideas On How To Regulate The Internet .x




What I Think About The Issues Surrounding Being Able To Access Ideas From All Over The World Publishing Our Words And Images . .

Firstly, This Suggests That People Are Now Able To View Ideas From All Over The World. The Public Are Now Able To Get Hold Of Public Information As Well As Private Information Such As People’s Names, Their Social Backgrounds, How Old They Are, What Their Likes And Dislikes Are Etc. This Information Is Now Viewed By Anyone Using The Internet. Therefore, We Do Not Know What Sort Of People Can Be Reading Through The Profiles. Many People Are Concerned About The Fact Whether The People Viewing The Profiles Are Teenagers Or People Over The Age Of 30 As This Could Also Come Across Pedophilia.

Who Would Be Responsible For Internet Regulation . . ?

In My opinion, I Think A New Devising System Should Be Introduced. With This, The Information Being Sent Would Be Monitored, Making Sure Whatever Is Being Passed On Would Not Affect Anyone’s Life In Any Way. Moreover, The Devising System Should Also Be Able To Check The Common Sites Being Used By People Such As Facebook Or Myspace, To Block The Unsuitable Content Being Sent In.

Are There Any Existing Bodies Who Could/ Should Do This?

There Is Already A Company Called The ICCAN. This Is A Non Profit Business That Wants The U.S Government For Organizing A Specific Internet Technical Function. This Includes Managing The Internet Domain Name System.

Would It Require A New Organization..?

I Personally Believe That This Would Not Require A New Organisation As The Company Is Starting To Reinforce Stricter Rules On The Information Which Is Posted Up On The Internet. Therefore, By Design It Would Help Regulate The Internet Itself.

How Would It Be Monitored . . ?

This Could Be Monitored By Introducing Another Devise To Be Able To Observe What Sort Of Information Is Being Posted Up Onto The Internet. With This, People Are More Likely To Be Safer And Most Importantly, Feel Safer.
