This Internet In The News assignment was about Du Daobin, a Chinese man who was arrested for trying to censor certain things on the internet. I found this article particularly intresting because I strongly feel that there is a need for censorship on the internet. Reasoning for my strong feeling towards censoship includes children that I have babysat. There have been a numerous amount of times where I will babysit children and leave a room only to come back and find them looking at some unappropriate website, whether it be pornogrophy or just plain vulgar. I know that there are blocks that some internet providers provide to their customers, but do they really think that they can block exactly what they say they can? I don't think so. I think that this man should not have been arrested for trying to censor the internet. Yes, this may cause many issues amoung people, but should children really be exposed to the content available for anyone on the internet? I found this site......
