There is no doubt the Internet is meant for different purposes. Most prefer to have accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumbrl or Myspace. These sites allow to make free speech different making the gap because of distance. The form of global communication is a great step for American people.

Nowadays American government tries to keep those rights.

The Internet usage leads to downloading some posted lyrics or pictures of celebrity to the profile or on-line forums. Such new bills that are being ignored by the government could put users in serious trouble.

SOPA or H.R.3261 and one more Protect IP Act or S. 968 are the bills that change world web forever. A closer inspection shows out unconstitutional acts.

Sopa provides the government and American citizens the rights to have something on the web removed without a warning or court dispute. This won’t affect Americans bug the others countries too. The bill is meant to protect from pushing attacks, it is going to punish someone who utilizing their rights to Free Use in the web.

Free Use is an act that is used by Americans for restriction of copyright holders. On the whole Free Use says that one can use something that are meant for parody, educational, or comedic purpose. As far as you are not profiting off whatever you use, you have not violated the copyright.

SOPA and the Protect IP Act will negate this act and make it so that any copyright holder accuse anyone of theft or infringement. It makes possible for some websites such as Facebook where free speech and Free Use is utilized to be removed completely from the web. The way the bill is written infringe on our rights as American citizens.

Recently as well the juridical representatives have announced they won’t be listening the sides opposing the bills. It makes provides some rights for free speech, right to protest, right to assembly to deny.

As well as the legislators released that they won’t listen to anyone that opposes the bill. This also negates right for free speech, right to protest , right to assembly. The bills has a constitutional character and completely alienate rights as laid out . The petition circulate on the Internet originating on whitehouse.gov and are fighting against the tyranny.

Chinese Internet Censorship

Chinese Internet Censorship

Chinese tech chiefs, including Alibaba’s Jack Ma, pledge to support government censorship.

Chinese tech firms in the face of their top leaders together with Alibaba CEO Jack Ma urged to uphold the frames of censorship and realize some goals of the Chinese government.

Firm’s representatives met hold a meeting in Bejing during three days as Reuter reports. The meeting concluded report informing that all companies would safeguard the broadcasting of positive messages and stop spread of on-line rumours.

Participants are Sina Corp’s Charles Chao and Robin Li of Baidu.

The report stated companies would crack down on sexual pornography, web fraud and illegal spread of harmful information on the web.

For example microblogging service blocked this year information blogs about Arab spring uprisings.

One may find different opinions concerning this issues for example Maio Wei, minister of Industry and Information Technology marked these companies should increase surveillance of their users.

Chinese web censorship rules for a long time was a part of the on-line landscape. Such facts often cause more concentration then we presuppose specially for foreign- based companies.

Clearly, the firms involved in today’s announcement have no such qualms. Whether the results of this meeting will spell even stricter censorship and surveillance is a matter too veiled in propaganda for Western interpretation; however, China’s general trajectory where web services are concerned has been trending toward less rather than more freedom of information. We suppose that the resolutions adopted by Ma, Li, et al. will steady the nation’s already plotted course.

Internet today is of high importance. It unites a lot of goal, the person who connects to it, in its functioning. It depends on person’s aims: for many Internet is some kind of entertainment or source of information, on a larger scale it plays a great role of development of all countries of the whole world. It allows people to communicate in fast way with people who are placed far away from us. The goals of communication can vary greatly especially if we take into consideration aspects of trade and commerce. It has changed greatly since that.

World markets are linked virtually, every business men or company or any people that are interested in staying stable from what is happening. One can get almost data linked with the world getting out of the house.

The Internet also helped some people interested in web commerce or international trading huge profits. The web space has made it easy for some users to check some transactions that take place on-line. We can do all on-line operations with money and send some payments on-line. Users can do all that by means of mobile phone or PDA’s.

The Internet has delivered some blows on business, we hear in the new about systems of giant corporations that are hacked or infiltrated by viruses, causing them to avoid some financial troubles. These are important data about particular company and the customers. This hacking and virus infiltrations that happen frequently.

In China that is a communist country there are strict about the Internet technologies implemented an Internet censorship. Any misuse of Internet for personal goals can be prevented. The government that is made by new laws to the censorship using web in China , it includes government offices, corporations as well as independent business in country.

Internet censor frames has helped In neutralizing web crimes especially in export/ import business, it greatly affected the national and international trade. China is now developing country, companies need to have some branches and connections to other.

Local businesses use Internet as a medium running their business. China censorship is isolated Many people give outrageous protests because of the Internet censorship in China, the government covers these up, they put up jail journalist accusing them. Protest blogs and forums are deleted.

Censorship and People’s Opinion Towards It

Censorship and People’s Opinion Towards It

Censorship and People’s Opinion Towards It

We see the first half of this year is notoriously known for its strikes in the Middle East, Arab dictators left their positions as far as there were no more patience to suffer from the tyranny. Internet has suffered much from this waves of violation too. We can trace it by shutting down social networks and some Internet services, some Arabians tyrants put much effort in order stay at a power but most of them had little success.

It was made so that in order to organize culturally thrown off nation.

Wael Ghonim is a well-known web activist revered across Egypt, he was greatly involved in to the revolution directed against Mubarak regime.

All the region rise up against the dictators, social networking bound them together as a strong force driving the revolution.

The Internet has changed greatly and profoundly the situation so that this impact is obvious enough.

The second half of this year made some progress in upheaval, most of this are now forming new governments and take some lessons in order to balance the situation entirely and change some democratic visions and principles concerned with particular customs and cultures no matter how scattered they are.

So we see the government did no attempts to influence the movement. Such movements greatly depend on the social media actions of peaceful protesters.

Social networking made everything to gather activists all over the world for unification and active steps.

But many nations did not receive such actions.

China has took many steps to be defensed from Internet searches for example from Twitter-like sites. But there are plenty ways if avoiding Internet censorship.

India too took some steps in order to get the protection against pornography and its effectiveness.

Indian censorship is likely to increase successful steps in Occupy movements, activists in the sphere of computer experts usually fight it back.

America is free of censorship restrictions many users find the e-mails which are not sent in case they include some forbidden links.

All these cases show the essence of censorship itself. It is impossible to block all the information. Even restricted China digital space manage protests, every attempt ends up by embarrassing these censoring.

Yahoo has lost many users, some protests in India has expanded greatly despite of the censorship.

Those who have much power can try everything they want to stop the progress, their actions nevertheless will lead only to discontent or some angry if all these attempts will become effective we may change all we need to be changed.

Censorship Across the World. New Google Report

November 9th, 2011
Share

 

Google now is taking some steps in technological world. According to recent release of ”transparency report” considering detailed use of Google world citizens get nice opportunity in learning much more about the leaders and their place in on-line universe. The report analyzes government actions concerning the content whether it should be removed or not. Among the top countries in content removal requests the first place occupy Brazil and Germany. They prefer to remove the great number of items. Top of the countries for web censorship consists of the following countries: China, Cuba, Myanmar, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, North Korea, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Turkmenistan.

After the Us has requested the user data Google complied with 93% of the requests. They informed of police brutality, these instances were refused in removing. On the whole Google’s actions in modern society are called to be revolutionary. Government requests for the information and proved data for American citizens and really reveals much activity not spoken.

According to Richard Warner’s investigations who is law professor at IIT Chicago – Kent College of law Internet has become a space of free expression and somewhat economic growth, it has a lack of ability in discriminating some types of data

Behavior in the web is too hard to be tracked, it can be difficult to be tracked for governmental representatives.

Warner noted that Google is more focused on collecting data than on anything else.

But this report does not lie upon the private data collection. Professor Paul Booth thinks it to be totally subjective because of different cultural values. Perspectives of regarding privacy are less versatile especially in USA. They say more comfort can be found in the conditions of some restrictions and strict censorship and protection but still it is very difficult to find the line between them.

Booth believes the available information is increasing changing society’s view on censorship, he also supports transparency, questions the power of the information in the hands of big corporation.

Information control gives some worries, it makes Google turn evil, all these information can be controlled.

Only if the government revisits and updates legislation for considering some new technologies something can become definite.

The ultimate goal of this debate should create “real citizen protection”.
