the country that applies internet regulation
According to the web-site internet live stats, it can be seen that the number of the internet users has increased tenfold from 1999 to 2014. Most of these internet users may use the internet for finding information. It obviously seems that the information on the internet can give people a big effect. However, perceptions that considering and doubting internet information that it may not be useful all the time has been coming out from the past. The research from Flanagin and Miriam tried to compare internet information to other traditional media and also tried to found out what information was the most credible thing on the internet through several surveys and experiments. It showed that unlike most other mass media, the Web has few centralized information filters relative to the amount of information available . Although sites that parallel their traditional media counterparts, such as the New York Times Online , do have formal information gatekeepers, the most of the web sites do not. Also, web-based information also differs from information delivered through more traditional channels in the point that it is more prone to alteration, which can be difficult to detect. Web-based information, however, is easy to create and can appear credible, even when they are not. It seems that internet users could meet an bad result by inaccurate information that is easy to believe credible.
Also, as the undesirable contents are increasing, Anna Larkina, Senior Web Content Analyst at Kaspersky Lab indicates the problem and point out that solution is urgent.
“Besides unwanted content, the Internet brings with it other dangers no less damaging for children, for example cyber-bullying or cyber-trolling. Aggressors can exploit all possible channels of online interaction – including social networks, forums, chats and messengers – which when used together can cause victims untold mental suffering. Technically, the fight against cyber-trolling is not so simple, so Parental Control is not so effective against it. As a rule children are not able to cope with aggressors on their own; therefore, parents have an important role to play in the protection of children from cyber-bullying. Ideally, parents need to pay attention to their children’s Internet activity.”
In Singapore, already the internet regulation is applied. Singapore has the most highest internet penetration and even Singapore government promotes the internet for national development. For promoting a better environment of the internet, Singapore Broadcasting Authority(SBA) is responsible for the online censorship. SBA judged that internet has negative effects and according to the Minister of information, they are trying to keep Singapore's "backyard and front yard clean by sweeping daily." The SBA regulates Internet Service/Content Providers through the Class License Scheme and the Internet Code of Practice(prohibiting the materials under the set of limitations).
