Should the World Wide Web Be Regulated?

             The Internet, since its birth, has been a source, an instrument, and a gateway of economic and technological growth. It has given billions of people a voice to speak their minds freely, a way to share life’s events with each other, a way to educate the uneducated and a way to bring the world together more than any other invention since the printing press. But one of the major reasons for its success has been its openness to the entire world. 

             There has been really no restrictions on how or what content is being entered into it daily. Until the governments in several different countries has gave their two cents on what content can be previewed in the last few years. Some rules that needed to be adapted are obvious like the file sharing of copyrighted material, even though half the world dose enjoy a free mp3s on a daily basis, this has greatly decreased the growth of the worlds economy.

              In my opinion there are some things that need to be done for our countries economic crisis involving the World Wide Web but everything else should be giving the same freedoms that has been giving in the past. So much has changed since the Internet exploded onto the world seen. Much more for the better than the worst. I think we need to continue with what has already been a so successful. Adding rules and regulations will only slow and may even stop the millions of new ideas, art, and self-expression that flows through the web like blood through our veins.
