Some people considered the internet as bad influence specially to kids. They said that kids learn bad stuff in the internet since they are curious to see what it is all about they will find out some bad things on the net.
Others also said that internet is addictive. In my opinion, it all depends upon how you use the internet. I have found so many good things on the net. It is very helpful to me.
Maybe kids should be guided accordingly on how to use the net in a useful way.
Child pornography, hackers reading how to hack into your web site or personal computer and children reading explicit details in the Starr Report; these are all examples of harmful information available on the Internet that should be regulated by the government. Government should regulate information on the Internet. Obscene and harmful material on the Internet, such as child pornography should be obliterated. Other questionable material, such as the Starr Report, should be published on the Internet, but not within the reach of children. Hacking is a very controversial subject. Most aspects of hacking correspond to doing harm upon other people’s computers. There is material available on the Internet regarding the “how-to’s” of hacking. These aspects of hacking should be extracted from.
Sure, we can bust all the host computers containing these things in the United States, but the Internet is a worldwide network. So, the United States government cannot patrol the world or make laws making these things illegal. Coalitions need to be formed worldwide to help in the finding and annihilation of the harmful and obscene material. I think that the easiest way to help fight this problem would be to get the United Nations to form a council that would find these server computers and re-format them and sell them off at a profit and keep the money for the United Nations.

having connected to the internet opens a lot of field in learning… however, there are other adult-oriented sites that they should not see… block this sites in the security settings if your using internet explorer as your browser and for Firefox get a addons that block these porn sites…
guide and teach them to use the internet properly cause there are lot of things they can learn from these…
I’m just wondering how many of you actually like Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana??
Ive seen her pics on the internet posing in underware and pulling her top up, and little 7-10 year olds see this and think its right?

I agree that some things can definitely harm individuals, including children. But so can anything in the “outside world”. Personally I find that the advantages of the net far outweigh the disadvantages. To me, the point is not censorship or government regulation (who gets to regulate them?) but rather open, educational dialogue. It is up to you, the parent, the friend, the associate, etc to warn of the potential dangers of the net and offer help where you can. And at the same time, point the way to the “right use” of the internet.
