The
Internet is a fantastic communication tool that is easily accessible from
almost anywhere in the world. However, there are certain drawbacks. While the
Internet should be almost a free for all of ideas and communication, it is
still heavily censored in man aspects. Media Now points out
several great examples of what happens when the Internet crosses cultures. For
example, France has no problem with breasts on the Internet, whereas the U.S.
tried to ban them at one point. France also tried to ban Nazi items, which
while they may be obscene to some it is hard to censor history. My idea of
a perfect Internet would not have any censorship on anything (as long as the
item in question is legal). America boasts that is a land of the free and we
have freedom of speech and the press, but the U.S. still tries to ban certain
things that are not 100% obscene. My internet would not needlessly censor.
