Dealing with Sensitive Materials on the Internet
With the emergency of user-friendly online systems, the
World Wide Web and its introduction into the classroom, more
and more children are taking advantage of the power of the
internet. However, it remains largely an adult forum, and so it
[5] carries with it adult subject matter.
Does it raise the question of what __________ when adult
topics and a child’s naive explorations meet? The debate has
raised not only questions of obscenity, harassment, free
speech, and censorship, but also of government control of the
[10] Internet, and its very nature as a communications resource.
Whatever the outcome of this war is, it will set a precedent
for how society and government deal with the exchange of
information in the future. Is the internet a free forum for
discussion or is it a broadcasting service and therefore subject
[15] to the same restrictions as television, print, or radio?
Are to internet communications on the right privacy
covered by the, or can e-mail messages be legally
observed...? Are web pages free speech or are some subjects
taboo on the internet because a child may stumble upon
[20] them? And who is responsible for internet content in a
communications medium where traditional publishing
scenarios no longer apply and content can be posted
anonymously?
For people who wish to control or limit the use of the
[25] internet, the issue of children and pornography has been a
valuable tool for gaining public support. The key is to find a
solution to protect our children while at the same time, avoid
setting up a climate of control that will limit our rights as adults.
