Uno's Role In Internet Laws

[bhavesh 0]

Its time for UNO to come forward to make a universally accepted Internet Laws. As sites can be accessed from anywhere in the world, so there should be a single governing body, which will make laws and these laws should be followed in every country, which are part of United Nations.I know few years back it was impossible for a 10 year child in a well educated family of India to know the meaning of porn, but now, with the rising of internet, all these things have came to his desktop. If a child is served with these type of things, then 7 out of 10 child will be indulge in some sort of crime against women.Why UN should come forward?UN is working to stop women trafficking and other crimes against women, and all the nations of the world are its member, so they are right institute to make the laws.I don't think a child is allowed to watch pornography anywhere in the world, then these sites should be banned and this can be done by making a strong law, which can't be implemented if UN doesn't support it. So UN should come forward.

No no no!!! The internet is our last remaining place of freedom. As much as i agree with what youre saying about children watching porn but it would be the fall of the last great and only place of freedom in this world!!! I mean you shouldnt BAN websites! Yes i agree that parents should use parental control software up to a certain age. Im 17 and i belive that I'm old enough to know about pornography and sex drugs alchohol etc.... Making a law for the internet would be like the chinese government, eventually there would be nothing but propaganda and government controlled bull. I agree there are alot of bad things and people on the internet but instead of making a cyber law why cant we just use the laws we have already.

At the moment the laws prohibit hacking and virus spreading and making etc... normal laws already try to stop pedohiles rapists etc etc etc... So, like is already happening today, these laws are upheld so that rapists and pedos operating on the web are arested and dealt with. Bad hackers are dealt with, virus makers and spreaders are dealt with.

There cannot be a lw on the internet. countries like the UK and USA possibly other big countries would try to buy their way into power over the internet. It just cant happen!!! Parent should take care of their kids online by protecting them using parental control programs, untill the pont where the child becomes more mature because it isnt a case of age its maturity. Also if parents stop or monitor their children while chatting onlne etc then the child would stay a lot safer. If we had an international law then it would be like having parental control for the whole world. It woldnt work, there would be uproar and i definately wouldnt be happy!!!

I know few years back it was impossible for a 10 year child in a well educated family of India to know the meaning of porn, but now, with the rising of internet, all these things have came to his desktop. If a child is served with these type of things, then 7 out of 10 child will be indulge in some sort of crime against women.

Theres nothing wrong with knoweledge. There is a diference between knowing and experiencing. I think the child should KNOW but shouldnt watch porn at that age. Once the child is mature (again not when the child reaches a certain age but when they are mature enough) then i see no problem if their own choice is to look at pornography. Also where did you get the 7/10 stats from? I dont personally belive they are true because i am sure that 95% of all 16-20 year olds have seen/do see pornography (atleast in western culture where it is more accepted, i know that cultures such as the indian example are more strict on these subjects) And i am also fairly sure that 95% of men wont comit a sexual crime against women.

And some of the women who pose for such images enjoy it so if you mean that pornography is degrading i dont belive it is as much as people belive. I do agree it is degrading to have pornographic images of yourself accross the globe if the women in question enjoy it then it cant be that degrading!

I hope i dont sound like i think its right for these things to happen to women because i definately dont. I thibk women deserve much better treatment than they are getting. However if the women choose to engage in these things then its their own personal choice and so they should accept the consequences. but thats a whole new debate and ill stay on topic. Damn i ramble!

then these sites should be banned

the killer question is what becomes "acceptable to the world and what isnt?" Eventually it will lead to a controllive world wide government who censor everything negative about them. As we can see with the USA and the UK it seems hard to get your point accross about disagreeing with their actions via voice, books, leaflets etc...but on the internet nothing stops us making a website telling the world the truth. And this is how it should be. The internet is a place to express ourselves without fear of being shunted into the dark, arrested etcetera. Its also the one place where we can mantain a certain amount of privacy. The government always know where you are, and if they choose to know they can track your every move for almost no reason. Whereas on the internet you can enjoy the freedom without fear of people following you around. Obviously if youre doing something illegal then you should be followed and dealt with but im very privacy concerned and i hate the fact that the government can always watch me.
anyway this is a very long post so i shall stop but i shall be back!

(ps shouldnt this be in the debates of life talks forum not the security one?)

And i appologise if i sound very forcefull, i just feel strongly about this type of thing and like to get my point accross, Good debate though i feel!

It is the parents responsibility to make sure that their children do the right thing on the internet and are safe. There are many ways for this to happen. Responsible parenting will teach children not to abuse women and the difference between right and wrong. The internet should not be censored. As the person above said,

The internet is our last remaining place of freedom.

Freedom and censorship do not fit together.
