Internet censorship


Internet should be a useful place that’s only very important things are found. I believe that internet censorship is very important. Otherwise every worthless, dim idea would have been posted everywhere.  I completely agree with internet censorship but it should be to a certain degree.
Few months ago a dim-witted and brainless guy made an offensive movie about the Prophet Mohammed (SWC). That movie was very offensive to Muslims and the Prophet. He called the Prophet meaningless, insulting names and traits. That movie made a lot of Muslims very upset and they started protesting against that movie and the man who made it and his entire crew. Most of the websites blocked that 14minute movie and its trailers but the others didn’t. The man wasn’t caught which only made the Muslims more upset. Then the Muslims took a very risky and dumb action towards this, they killed a USA ambassador and two marines. This only made the Americans and all the other people upset and shocked with their terrible call.  Certain websites refused to censor and remove this video, some of them were Google and YouTube. “A clip of the show was posted to YouTube on September 9, where it has received almost 400,000 views so far.” This terrible movie has risked a lot of innocent people’s life and it should have been completely censored and blocked.
I believe that at this degree the internet should be censored. When it violets other people religion and beliefs. It is common sense to block and censor those kinds of posts with these effects. Yes people can express their ideas and share it on the internet but it shouldn’t be offensive to anybody.
People tend to post a lot of crappy meaningless things on the internet and someone needs to be responsible for this, either and organization like the ITU or the country itself. I believe it will be better if each country controls its own internet in their country. Like if each country can control its own internet this offensive movie could have been blocked from all Muslim countries, not some but all of them. The ITU wouldn’t agree to block it from all Muslim countries; they would have just blocked it from the places that they want. It would have been fair if each country controls what its civilians can post and what they can’t. So if some kind of opinion isn’t appropriate for that country or if it’s violating other country it should be taking care of the country not the ITU.
