Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper asking whether the
government should be allowed to censor Internet content in any way. Argument can be made in
favor of not allowing access to sites that reflect the worst of life, but the argument breaks down
with only the most superficial scrutiny. The question of "who decides?" is one that prevents
government censorship from being a workable arrangement. Opponents cite the First
Amendment, but the issue extends beyond even that. Removal of any freedom results in the
removal of others being much easier to achieve. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

it is not only those sites of questionable - or no - moral value to which citizens are not allowed access. That nation continues to block sites opposing Chinas
government or worldview in any way. One instance of government censorship of the Internet was greatly more surprising. Singapore has been the
miracle of Southeast Asia, having risen from economic equality with Nepal in 1960 to being listed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as no longer being a
developing nation. Singapore now has a fully mature economy, and was even slated to overtake Great Britain in per capita GDP shortly before the Asian currency crisis prevented it.
