The Internet’s continuous advancement has produced the need for an on-going debate on whether or not the government should have the power to control the Internet. The idea of the government having control over what each country’s citizens can see on the Internet is also called Internet Censorship. Internet Censorship “is the control or suppression of the publishing of, or access to information on the Internet.” Internet Censorship varies from country to country depending on each country’s current usage and philosophy of how it should be used.

This course has been about making good arguments and evaluating their effectiveness. The debate on the government’s role in regulating the internet is filled with many different opinions and viewpoints. I will need the knowledge I have gained in this course to sort through these claims, and create my own arguments. The title of Chapter 27 in “Everything’s an Argument” is “How Has the Internet Changed the Meaning of Privacy?” The chapter discusses many parts of the internet and privacy, including government surveillance. My topic goes further than just government surveillance: should the government actually regulate information from the internet? The internet has become an integral part of our society, and many of us will use it

In 2011, several people started a “Don’t Filter Me project.” They wanted to remove the web filters on the school computers that blocked several educational sites. They filed lawsuits and demanded that they unblock these sites and take away the web filters.

As a result, the court granted the “highest level of First Amendment protection to the internet.” Also in 2004, the Supreme Court “announced that it will not hear government’s appeal of a ban on the Child Online Protection Act.” They thought of this as a violation of the First Amendment (Internet Censorship 1).

The freedom of speech that was possible on the Internet could now be subjected to governmental approvals. For example, China is attempting to restrict political expression, in the name of security and social stability. It requires users of the Internet and electronic mail (e-mail) to register, so that it may monitor their activities. In the United Kingdom, state secrets and personal attacks are off limits on the Internet. Laws are strict and the government is extremely interested in regulating the Intern et with respect to these issues.10 Laws intended for other types of communication will not necessarily apply in this medium.

What are some of the effects government regulation of the Internet might have on Google’s operations?
