Below is the results of the survey poll , 58.33% of the respondents agreed that online censorship should be reinforced because it affects the morality of the individual negatively, whereas 25 % of the respondents agreed to the reinforcement of online censorship to enhance national security. The remaining 16.67% is the percentage of respondents disagreed to reinforce online censorship because it is the individual's responsibility for their behavior. No respondent disagree that online censorship reinforcement would restricts an individual's freedom of expression.
From the poll, this can be concluded that majority supported that reinforcement of online censorship is important to protect the morality of the society. Well, like what I mentioned in the earlier blogs, the purpose of online censorship is to guard the little ones from being involved in pornography, online gaming, and online gambling and so on.
Online censorship definitely protects the national security. Defense Ministry signifies the country state of life. Once the defense being corrupted, everything goes hay wired. Just imagine that Google map can zoomed into the location of Putrajaya or worst still White House or Pentagon where the leader of the world is. Terrorism rate would increase tremendously like a thermometer in a boiling soup. The world literally will be out of control.
Some believed that online censorship should not be reinforced because it is our personal role to manage and control your attitude and behavior. What are we, if this online technology controls our lives instead of us controlling. We don't want technology to be the Master and we the slaves.
There are various reasons on why no respondent actually agree that online censorship should not be reinforced because it is violating or restricting an individual freedom of expression. This is because nothing can change the fact that we are Asians. For example, since young, we have been taught that sex is a taboo word, the unspoken word. Everyone will give you a stare if you ever mentioned the issues regarding this. Unlike the Westerners, they are more open-minded compared to Asians. They are the pioneers of arts and communication and mostly everything. They had always appreciated that the nakedness of the physical body is actually an art of expression. In US, The First Amendment strongly protects an individual's freedom of expression and speech. Well I would said, too much exposure can be a destruction.
Please leave your comments.
Have a great week ahead! Cheers =)
