CLOSED WEB SITES

Sometimes we can come across something like that ‘this web site has been closed by the government.’ I think this cannot be acceptable. There are several reasons for this. First reason is that this is not suitable for democracy. A Government doesn’t decide this.This is public’s choice.People can decide what they want and also this limits the freedom of press that is not normal. Further this web site can be a ınternational web site, because of this, people want to know what sort of things even the govenment closes a web site, people can reach it somehow.For example; Youtube was closed , people could reach it through Vtunnel, Ktunnel etc.There for this is not solution for bad contented web sites. The government can punish the person who puts bad things on the web site.The opponents of these ideas claim that the government knows the best and this is better because our children cannot enter this web site and they cannot watch bad contented videos if the government closes bad contented web sites.However, these ideas are wrong. Because the government cannot know all people’s choices and cannot limits people. For only bad content a web site cannot be closed. Because there are lots of good things and we cannot protect our children from bad contented web sites through this way because they can reach these web sites somewhow, they can learn from their friends how they can reach these web sites. Closing a web site is not an effective solution for this. Therefore closing a bad contented web site totally wrong.
