Is internet censorship important ?

Censorship is incredibly important and it is certainly an undeniable fact and based on the poll given , 85 % agreed on this and 15 % disagreed on this. Well  In today's world of modern technologies  there are an increasing number of homes obtaining Internet access and more than half of the households have more than one computer with Internet access. With this increase in Internet usage it is of utmost importance that we have some sort of filtering service on the net.

Well they are many aspects why censorship is very much needed in today’s era. Censorship is important because people should not have to be subject to all things. If there was no censorship that may cause people rights to be void.

Besides that, censorship is important to  keep children from learning inappropriate things at a young age. Example expurgate x rated content, pornography material and offensive site away from kids. It is also important to protect the well-being of certain races, cultures, or religions.

Censorship is also vital in protecting ourselves. Censorship is made to avoid publicizing sensitive issue from being viewed to the public, certain information may be sensitive example any subject associated to the government. Any complex issue should be censored, so you would not get into trouble in the future.
