Mini-Essay:
The Internet
and Child Pornography
|
Ever since the Internet started becoming a household
familiarity, there have been controversial issues surrounding aspects
of it. One major issue regarding the Internet deals with the censorship
of its information and publications, namely the various audiences that
are able to access information. Of course, no system is perfect from
the beginning and glitches must be handled. The Internet has been no
exception. There has been much controversy and concern over both children
being able to view explicit material via the Internet, and the broadcasting
of child pornography on it as well. According to the FBI, much is being
done to limit the access and publication of certain types of material
without infringing on freedom of speech. (1) Both parents and government
officials fear that explicit context and photographs accessible via
the Internet are littering the future of our country. (3) We must take
care to limit accesses for our children and shield them from obscenities.
Enforcing the limitations on the Internet and invoking guidelines, i.e.
parental controls, should pose as a great aid in ensuring our success
in giving our children the freedom to learn and use the Internet without
being tainted by it at the same time. (2)
