Vote Results (Week 4)

Do you think online censorship should be reinforced?

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 =)

Vote Results (Week 2)

Do you think online censorship can benefit national security?

The second week’s poll results states that 72% of people have agreed that online censorship benefits the national security, whereas, 14% of people have disagreed that online censorship benefits the national security and another 14% of people aren’t sure if online censorship benefits the national security or not.

From the analysis we can conclude that online censorship does benefits the national security.

How?

Exposures of immorality elements and political or racial issues can evoke chaos in the country. Such elements or issue reaches the mass faster by internet compared to other media. To overcome such dilemma, online censorship helps to either ban or reduce people from viewing such elements. For instance, the newer generation is so involved in internet activities like games, music and video portals where they can easily be influenced by the vulgar or violent elements in it and can you imagine the consequence of it when people practice it around?

Another example is the recent threat to the nation which is dead of an Indian guy in the police custody. It has become a racial riot because the family claims as he has been killed in police custody and the Indians claim it as bias behaviour of police towards the Indians. This is because of the distribution of the images and videos through Youtube and social networking site like Facebook. Incites people to join networking groups to discuss information about this case which maybe false news, they seem to interpret among themselves and at the end it rises up people to be against the police and the government.

Now can you get a clear picture of how tricky it becomes when online censorship was not enforced at this time? Online censorship is not used when it is needed, that is why some people assume that it doesn't benefits national security.

To stop this kind of issues to happen, reinforcement of the online censorship law has to be made so that the misuse of the internet could be finally stopped or not the history will repeat itself.

To those who were not sure if online censorship benefits national security, we hope the information that we gave helped you to get a better picture how online censorship benefits the national security. We will get back to you with more exciting poll questions. Don't hesitate to drop us your comments.

Have a great day ahead =)

No censorship! No security!

As we all know, internet has become as important as drinking water everyday. Without internet- no life!!! As we know each and every one of us are so involved and overwhelmed by the technology. Apart from the benefits we gain from internet, now it is more likely internet is becoming the wrong path for the youth of today. Do we fairly agree? =)

Online censorship- what for laa??

I bet many people have raised up this question and yet the answer remains as yes. =) Online censorship still remains to be like the air around us. It’s there just that people don’t realize it. Online censorship also known as the internet filter to stop and ban all internet elements that consists immorality behavior. As we know, it won’t take long time to spread from one person to 10 people.. When these kind of immorality behaviors spread around, somehow like a slow poison it becomes a threat to the nation.

Remember Negarakuku- the ‘rap’ which was a desecration of the national anthem. The motive has been humorous yet the song has defamed the purity of our nation and humiliated the policemen. On the other hand, Raja Petra was detained due to his anti government views and discrimination on Muslims in his blog. The consequences from it, the government become the laugh of the public which caused people to disrespect and look down on our own nation.

This is the resemblance of misusing the internet which reflects to be a harmful threat to the nation. Upcoming generation seems too anticipate into this sort of immorality activities into their daily basis and they tend to lose their respect on the nation. This type of issues provoke chaos and racial riots among the races of our nation which no longer remain as peace and harmony. This problem becomes an unanswered doubt for foreigners and even people of our own to wonder ‘Are we safe in our own nation? ‘. At this stake, online censorship stands as a ladder to detain the internet from being a bad source for the youths and upcoming generations.

I hope this information has helped you to gain a short glimpse of what online censorship is and the consequences of it to the nation. Do drop us your comments. We’ll get back to you with more and more on online censorship.

Have a great day ahead! =)
