Internet Regulation..!

R E G U L A T I O N...

Issues Surrounding the Internet.

• When accesssing sites on the internet, there is no real privacy or RULES as to what you can and cannot access.


• In some way people can access sites through special codes, passwords and techniques.


• Even on advanced social networking sites such as Facebook, people can still access private, perhaps vital information, and pictures etc... This can then lead onto peadophilia harm, this being the worst of scenario's


• People can also download illegally; for example music, movies etc.. This is all down to being able to access more or less anything you want at amytime.
• Also, there is a high risk of computers being hacked into, and also social networking sites such as msn..etc.
• Businesses are also at high risks as there have been many attemps of fraud, in which some of the cases have actually been successful, and therefore shows how with the right equiptment and knowledge, anyone can cause damage/harm, and anyone or anything can be the victim of it!

The issues surrounding the internet seem to be quite negative, as the invasion of privacy and the statistics of illegal downloading can lead to serious consequences.

Another problem which may not be recognised as much is the fact that information sites such as WIKIPEDIA, are edited perhaps weekly, maybe even daily, and the information that is displayed may not be 100% correct, therfore giving innacurate information.

[ ICANN ]

I N T E R N E T C O R P O R A T I O N f o r A S S I G N E D N A M E and N U M B E R S

• This corporation was created and set up in 1998
• It is a [non-profit] corporation
• The idea and aim of this corporation was to insure the stability of the internet
• It was also designed to privatize the managment of internet names and addresses

Should There Be A New Organisation?

*ICANN* have been created for a specific purpose and has previously protected many web addresses. However, if problems such as hackings, and peadophilia chaos' are still occuring, it would be safe to say that perhaps the ICANN are not doing their job to a sufficient standard. Either that, or the regulation of this corporation and the time spent towards the internet is not enough, and not as accurate as it should be. If this is the case, then maybe a new organistion should be introduced as well as having the ICANN as that would mean 2 organisations are regularly checking and supervising the internet, and therefore more sites would be safer than now. Also if any inaccurate information was displayed on certain sites, there would be a high chance of something being done about it, rather than that information being kept on the site, and misleading people who use it.

HoW WiLl It bE MoNiToReD???

The internet should be monitored by a consistent site which is shown new postings and editing of sites. There should also be some sort of block to prevent any irrelevant things being posted up.

More on, there could be some sort of limit of how much information you can post up depending on what the information is about and what site is being used. For example, limiting information on sites such as Bebo, Hi 5, Facebook, or Myspace could limit the peadophilia cases, and sites which make it easily accessible for viewers to download should also be limited, or deleted, to prevent any illegal damage.
