Blocking websites- arguments 1



The internet is large cyber world. Millions of websites are there and different age levels of people use it. A lot of them are considered bad so in the UAE Etisalat blocks some of them.
There are several arguments for blocking websites by Etisalat. The first of all is that children use the internet. Some websites have a kill video game which can badly affect them. Other arguments are that some of the websites give wrong news. For example some of these websites says Mohammed Abdo one of the most popular Arab singer was died in Paris. Also some sex websites are not allowed in our religion and are illegal because it badly affects our mind and the person still thinks about sex.
Also there are some negative points disagreeing with this point. A main point is they talk about the freedom in opinion; in some blocked websites a lot of people write real things about governments. For example, alsaha website is one of the ungoverment web sites and anyone can say what he wants to say. Another point that they say not all of blocked video web sites are bad, there are good ones like YouTube was blocked in UAE for years before its came to work again.
In conclusion, Etisalat wants the public interest they want to do their job but I think they must put it as an option for anyone who wants to see block the blocked websites.
