And accuracy further reduces speed. With up to 7.8% of tested sites being wrongly blocked you begin to wonder if Conroy is trolling. And of course with such dodgy plans for censorship, there is a strong opposition. Also opposing the filter is internet superpower Google. They comment that "moving to a mandatory ISP filtering regime with a scope that goes well beyond such material (child abuse and terrorism) is heavy handed and can raise genuine questions about restrictions on access to information."

Google is by far the worst example of an information supplier, in that, a search on Google can inundate the reader with an outlandish list of results. The majority of these results are often not what most educators would consider scholarly work, but instead opinion and conjecture. Wikipedia on the other hand, advertises itself as an encyclopedia type service. While their information is rather extensive and referenced for the reader, its basic flaw is that it is collaborative software. It allows its contributors to freely edit the content that is broadcast through the internet.
Either way he tells the story of how he discovered the internet and how he could simply hide behind his digital mask and saying things he probably wouldn’t have said if he was confronted with these people in real life. Aleks also talks about how religious and racist groups use the internet to recruit members and form a virtual weapon against anyone who doesn’t agree with their beliefs. Despite Aleks Krotoski uses the tools of relation for example his opening section: “I remember the first time I logged into a chatroom. It was 1996, and I was using my mum’s AOL account to mooch around the World Wide Web, which was
Visualize every search you make and every purchase you make online affects every news and ads your given. So if you’re only given what you know, then how can you discover what you don’t know?

Pariser helps us understand how to much personalization is dangerous and how it makes for a more narrow minded, dumb, and biased community. He explains how this is done silently and how we don’t really notice it, because
The restriction of Government on the Internet block the growth of a nation The main idea I issue here is about the restriction of the government to the reports (whatever the reports are from inside or outside) out of their control of the government. Internet nowadays has spread to very corner of the world. But there are a lot of restriction polices in different regions. For example, in china, people can’t view many external website. The people in China can’t run over most of the reports written by other countries.
Plagiarism Plagiarism is using others' ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information. Piracy is the unauthorized use or reproduction of copyrighted material Plagiarism is very common in the Internet era, webmasters and college students being the worst offenders. Many softwares and web services are available for teachers to detect it. We compiled a list of those services, and we found that most of them work by comparing strings of about 30 characters in both texts: the certified original and the suspected plagiarism. The coincidences are flagged as suspicious.
One of the main setbacks that companies face when using the INTERNET as a tool is the misuse of the INTERNET by employees. Not all employees misuse the INTERNET but as we know, it only takes “One weak link to pop the chain”, in other words if one employee slows down production then the entire company will suffer! Should companies prohibit employees from using the INTERNET during company time for personal use or should they simply limit the use? As a business owner my first thought would be to eliminate INTERNET use during company time. It’s all about the bottom line.
However, media censorship may be the only true way to protect our thoughts and mannerism. There are dispute as to whether censorship is good or bad. Nowadays, even entertainment materials are the victims of media censorship. In the internet, pornographic photos and video clips are widespread. So, the ministry of information had to trim them according to the rate of exposure and movies that are shown in cinemas are rated according to their contents too.
A system of throttling certain websites that would promote anti-government sentiment has already been inflicted. However not every internet user faces the same level of obstacles on the internet. The amount Government censoring and filtering may vary depending on location and timing. For example during protests in Hong Kong in 2014, internet services were severely limited in order to decrease awareness for both the protesting Hong Kong locals and to keep mainland Chinese blind to the anti-government sentiment growing off the coast (1). A common solution to any internet firewall are virtual private networks (VPNs).
