On Internet, nobody should ever censor anything

Posted by Ruddy on Jun 15, 2009 in Chit Chat |

The bigger internet becomes, the darker it will be. The day of internet where everyone can speak anything they want is no longer exist. People can talk about freedom of speech when they are gays and lesbians, but once you talk about politics or someone else’s dark past, people would try to delete your content. It happens everywhere right now while I don’t think it’s a good idea to be naive like this. Internet was built based on freedom of speech. Although I was still a kid when internet boomed, I still remember how people kept talking and flaming each other without boundaries.

That’s what internet should be about. Lift your mask and shout anything you want. Nowadays it seems harder to “provide” the real freedom of speech policy. When you deny holocaust, no matter how good your argument is, people would criticize you until you delete that content. When you talk about a scam scheme of one big organization, you wouldn’t be heared either. In fact, once people start hearing about your problem, websites will try to filter your content.

Facebook nowadays often filter certain contents. If we were talking about adult contents, I can understand. Adult contents should be filtered because we don’t want children to see them. But Facebook (and lots of other sites) filter comments and articles that talk about important issues. It’s totally unfair to make negative arguments about one specific issue (especially when the writer had a very good point). Well, internet should be the place where everyone can talk anything they want. It’s good, actually. But when it gets bigger, dumbasses will try harder to protect something they care about (you know what I mean) by filtering your contents.
