Whose tube? ; Censorship and Internet
The author of “whose Tube ? : Censorship and Internet” (April 14, 2007) said that You Tube should have the morals to edit online videos, because they have problems among a lot of countries. In Thailand, it was blocked because of offending the government. You tube said that the site had not done any illegal thing. There are materials that are offensive materials on the grounds of race, religious things, sex, and terrible violence. They need to use editorial power and have responsibility. This article’s problems are bad influence, responsibility, and relationships with another countries.
First, they should use the power to edit the videos. All people can watch the videos in the world. They should have enforce sense of modesty to follow You Tube. Infection should not happen to kids. For example, there are sex, violence, and racism. These are not good for children’s education. They have to be protected from these things.
Second, the company should manage the site rightly. They have a duty to oversee all the time, because You Tube can be shared with anybody. Any company can succeed by the right work with responsibility. The policy makes them good and big. Lately, trust is so important in our society. Because trust makes our relationship good in globalization.
Third, relationships between countries are so important in the world. You Tube that is shared with so many countries though Internet all over the world. It shows us a variety of videos anytime. They are including about religion and race. So they should not release unlike things or biased things. These cause problems with a lot of countries. If You Tube is over look all the time, they have good relationships with countries.
In conclusion, You Tube gives us bad influences. And, they have to show us videos with responsibility. Next, the company should try to make good relationships with being directed and edited for kids and people in the world. Therefore, censorship on the Internet is very important. People also use the Internet rightly.

Information problems
Jo Twist (2005), in “Controversy blights UN net summit” said that UN summit asserts that sharing information should be a freedom in cyberspace and we need to be watched about forums and international standards in the world. More than 170 countries and 17,000 participants joined the world summit, which was the biggest we had ever had, in Tunis. Poorer countries need support of funds more. Information should be shared equally and rightly. Our problems in cyberspace are differences between poor countries and rich countries, appropriate information, and crimes.
First, in the world, there are a variety of things among countries. Poor countries have insufficient management of the net and technology, because of a lack of funds. A variety of differences make unfairness in the world. For example, although rich countries can do anything like having high technology and management, on the other hand, these are difficult for poor countries to do by themselves. We have to effort to decrease differences between each other and support funds for freedom of information.
Second, information has to be censored and managed rightly for people, and then people can use the Internet safety. We can get wrong information and irrelevant influence anytime in the Internet. Everybody can watch videos whatever they want, even children. For example, there are pornography and violence. They might be affected badly by this information from You Tube.
Third, Internet can be used for crimes, because they tell a lot of lies, you can lie, and even make economic fraud, on the Internet. For example, people can buy and sell products easily in Internet. Some people swindle people out of money. People should watch things to the end to notice whether the information is right or not.
In conclusion, Internet problems happen among advanced nations and developing countries. We have to support each other about freedom to get information, although problem happens because of differences. And, we have to get right information from the Internet. And then, people should avoid doing criminal things on the net. I hope that we can share information equally in the world, and we use the Internet adequately.
