Problems about UN summit

In Jo Twist’s (2005) article, “Controversy blights UN net summit, “ she explains what happened at a UN summit. There was an assembly, because of a solution for the information society in Tunisia, because poor countries do not have enough money. So UN net summit said that they were going to support them with money. But not everyone agreed about freedom in cyberspace, because the Chinese vice premier said that a few controls were necessary, however, the secretary general of International Telecommunication Union gave the opposite point of view. In my opinion, the net perhaps will be abused, so online restrictions should be instituted.

First, there are too many hackers in this world now. They are really dangerous people, because they can have a look your private information and they can also copy and then sell the information to somebody for criminal purposes. So you have to install the program that can prevent hacking.

Second, there is too much information that is not true. For example when you use the internet, you can easily find pictures of celebrities those are fiction. Nobody knows who makes those unreal pictures and rumors. So do not believe every piece of information on online.

Third, when you use the internet, you can get good information, but you can find bad information as well. For instance, perhaps your kids already have been at some sexual website, because it is easy to find sites like that. So if you really are worried about that you can install the program that intercepts people who are entering websites like that. And cyber police should more care to catch them who upload bad information.

I think we need more online restrictions. We do have some now, but there are still a lot of awful things online. It would be uncomfortable, if there were too many restrictions. Unless we want such like that we should control ourselves and have responsibility.
