According to Mother Jones there are several countries that block Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. Each do so for their own reasons and I encourage you to delve further into the subject.
I find myself divided as for whether or not I think this should be allowed. Knowledge should be shared and made available to all people and it should be their right to know. But what if some information harms the greater good of the community or country? Wouldn't sharing that information be a disservice?
What are your thoughts? Should there be social media blocking or general web site blocking?
IMO, the greatest harm is the state deciding what people ought to be looking at instead of the people themselves. I'm not in favor.
ReplyDeleteI see a huge difference between what information is shared and how it is being shared. Yes, state secrets should not be shared in any medium. But, no, you should not abridge someone's freedom to communicate.
