The President and Internet Traffick

Government officials may want to regulate the internet but no matter how hard they try it will be nearly impossible to complete because of how rapid the internet it growing. So many different sites are created everyday there is no way of keeping up with how many there are or how big the internet actually is. Not only is the internet an ever changing

Between trying to prevent obscene video content, shielding minors from harmful content, and the First Amendment protecting freedom of speech, it would be very rigorous for the government to actually change internet policies. The history itself shows that in order for the United States to be truly free, as intended to be in the U.S. Constitution, platforms such as the internet cannot be touched or messed with. Too many times has the government tried to make an effort and put energy into acts that have failed. Winston Churchill, a Prime Minister during WWII, once said “Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat

The Internet powers our country. Not only do hundreds of millions of Americans use it daily, our government and states use it to do important national and international business. Our government already utilizes it to monitor the activity of its people. This monitoring has especially risen after events such as the Boston Bombing and the attacks of 9/11. The main reason that the government does this is to keep us safe. If the government puts more slack on this matter, then it will give a chance for terrorists to complete their objective. The normal person does not know how many terrorist attacks may have been stopped in the past years due to this surveillance, and how many lives it may have saved. Therefore, we cannot let our government halt

" The founding fathers created the government to unite, and protect The United States. The government must also be able to protect citizens basic rights. These rights are written as amendments to our constitution. Our government has a duty to protect United States citizens, and with new technology this need for protection has extended to the internet. Federal, state, and local governments have a duty to protect their people, and to do this minimal forms of internet monitoring are needed.

Should every government--federal, State, and local--monitor the Internet activity, or should that task be left to the national government? That argument could go both ways, but personally, I believe that the federal government (namely the NSA) should watch and collect the data. One reason why this would be more beneficial is because the federal government is most likely more equipped to deal with likely terrorist threats. If the local or State governments monitored the Internet usage of the citizens and happened to find a threat, they would call in an agency from the federal government anyway. It would be much less time-consuming if those extra steps were eliminated completely and all Internet monitoring was left to the NSA. Additionally, if the NSA was left to monitor the Internet activity of all citizens, the agency would have to hire more people, leading to a decline in the unemployment

The internet is a place where people from all over the world can connect with others who have similar interests as well as share information on almost any topic. While the internet has brought us closer together as a global society some people believe that what is on the internet should be censored. While the content of the internet should have to comply with the laws of the country it is being accessed in I do not believe that there should be any further restrictions as to what viewed on the internet.

"The extent that the government-federal, state and local have to monitor internet content would be a simple overview to make sure that everyone is alright and there is no alarming content that could be used to hurt others. Only an overview would be necessary to make sure that there are no obvious threats to anyone and if there are any suspected threats to anyone, there should always be a probable cause before any form of the government gets deeply involved into someones internet content because after all everyone should be entitled to privacy unless there is a specific reason that their privacy should be breached then the United States government should be allowed to view their content without restriction to keep people safe. The National Security Agency which is a national security agency that has intelligence over the country that is in the department of defense in the US and is directed by the Director of National

The internet is an amazing technological advancement that opened the door to a connected society. Since the early days of the internet, people have built ways to safeguard their possessions with various security systems from thieves. Once people are in the cyberspace securing personal items or information gets a little trickier. It is common knowledge to assume government agencies have the means and possible authority to search the internet in its entirety, but should people grow mad over this blatant invasion of privacy? Consider this; what if accepting the government’s access to all information in cyberspace will help them easily catch terrorists, thieves, cyber bullies, and other nuisances? In the public space that is the internet, privacy

Without this governmental monitoring comes censorship. Schools already face the backlash of this as seen in the article by Melinda Anderson on The Atlantic. Students lose some of their rights as they enter school decided by the case TLO vs New Jersey, and so the school has the right to censor their internet usage. The school’s ability to block certain websites and various tools are based on the idea that they have to “block material that is obscene, child pornography, or harmful to minors”. But this definition gets construed, websites that were just supporting an opposing view as the school officials such as LGBT support groups get censored. An internet without government interference and monitoring is an un-american internet, censored and

The Internet’s continuous advancement has produced the need for an on-going debate on whether or not the government should have the power to control the Internet. The idea of the government having control over what each country’s citizens can see on the Internet is also called Internet Censorship. Internet Censorship “is the control or suppression of the publishing of, or access to information on the Internet.” Internet Censorship varies from country to country depending on each country’s current usage and philosophy of how it should be used. (toptenreviews.com) Currently, there are ten countries including

I believe that the government does have a right to monitor internet content under certain conditions. As of now certain government officials are wanting to take internet freedom away which many believe isn't right. I personally believe that if the government believes and has proof that there is a serious crime happening on the internet then it should be taken care of. If not, then it shouldn’t be much of a problem.

I don_Ñét think the government-federal or state should be monitoring the content on the internet. People need their privacy and what kind of freedom do people have if we are being monitored and not knowing it. They could be monitoring people_Ñés private calls and messages. We all deserve freedom on the internet.

There are many reasons why the U.S. National government should monitor our internet, but the number one priority is safety. The government needs to monitor if there are an y suspicious people looking at illegal or harmful things. If they do have reasonable accusations of someone, they should interrogate them to see the motives. This could prevent many large shootings and

"I feel the government is already monitoring internet content. It is not because I believe in a bunch of conspiracy theories but it is really happening. There is proof that the US federal government has been monitoring emails between the US and foreign countries for years, so why not do it between just people of the states as well. I feel that to some extent the US should be able to monitor certain things on the internet to make sure there is nothing bad happening. They can go through public profiles and websites all they want to make sure no terrorism or hate groups are doing anything to put US citizens in danger. However, the government could just as easily spy on our personal info. If they can check emails between other countries they can between our own. And if they can do that with emails they can do it with phone calls and even private DMs. I believe it is our fourth amendment right to have to private things protected. Some people say they don’t care and that other people shouldn’t care if the government reads your stuff because you have nothing to hide, however that is not the point. Even if someone doesn’t steal stuff from your house would you still want them to come in without you knowing just to look around to see if you have anything they want? I think most people would say probably not.

Once again, it would be common sense to allow someone their first amendment and privacy rights. Without these rights, the people would never be able to truly express their ideas to the public. If the government censored the internet, people would not be able to publish what they wanted to because of the internet regulation. Instead of thinking creatively and coming up with new ideas, people would have to follow regulations. This could be a danger to society because it would hinder the people from succeeding, evolving, and gaining more information. This is why people should be allowed to think freely without the federal government censoring and regulating the internet (Redwin 3). This country started on the foundation and basis of freedom so it should be kept that
