Of coarse, government should control Internet resources, as government should care about its citizens. Nowadays there are a lot of bad information, especially for children and teens, which influence their minds badly. And only government have a right to control these Internet resources and shut down some bad sites. Side: yes
What is consider to be good or bad? Who knows this difference? Our government also composed of humans, as we are and this politicians are not perfect and not the ultimate truth. Maybe site, which contain some information about political opposition or prohibited religious movement also might be considered as a site with improper content and banned? You want come back to Middle Ages where everything were controlled by King and Pope? Personally, I don't. Side: No

To my mind, there must be a tough control of whole Internet space, because as we know there are many spams and useless advertisment which really annoy me always very much. Existence of porno sites or sites with racism contents or interethic conflicts which might badly affect people's lives..........There are many other obvious examples which really demostrate the need of implemetation a control from governmaent...... Side: yes
I disagree with you. Yes, government will banned it, and what?? for exaple, in USSR was time, when government implement the law about drink, that all citizens of USSR must not drink at all. So, as you can see, it doesn't help. certainly, this activities were illegal, but still exist. perhaps, we should change mind of our humanity, that such sited change our mentality, awereness. our society becomes worst. Side: No
i fully support Sergei! he is right! for examples, people get used to blame government for inaction and could not change or improve some hopeless citations! but when government start to speak about any kind of censorship society passionately against such action of government and start to talk about freedom and rights, very often forget about their obligations. if we want to improve situation we need to be ready to significant changes Side: yes

I was only half joking. Lots of crime can be committed over the internet. If the government doesn't secure a foothold, things like identify theft and video pirating are going to continue to be very profitable businesses. The internet is like the Wild West, except people aren't dying. The fact that people aren't dying automatically indicates that it's not a high priority to control the internet and enforce it under the law, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be controlled and enforced to a degree. Side: yes

I stand against Internet censorship provided by government because it would be limitation of freedom of the speech and oppression of the human rights. Controlling Internet could help government to limit teenagers' access to unsupervised resources, where anyone can read information about occult sacrifices and repeat ceremony. But unfortunately, government would control not only occult movement's resources but also any kind of social networks, e-mails and so on and so forth just to" find potential danger" and this actions are considered to be more like invasion of privacy and it's unseasonable for modern society. Side: No
I think you have not ever think about it seriously. Just imagine you have children. What if they will get addicted to some bad site and you will not be able to do anything at all to ban your children to visit these sites, only then you will realize what big role government play in the world of Internet. Side: yes
It is matter of parents rather than government. Also, parents are able to use special programs, which put some restrictions on the list of side which your or your children cannot access, but not government. We are talking about government intervention into our private life and retrieving private information from the Internet. Side: No
How does it violates the human rights of liberty? By awaring our future generation? Huh, recently i've seen my little brother watching porno(at the age of 8) i was stunned... He told me that there was an advertisement of a toy, then he clicked on it and it went to the porno site. Side: yes

There are a lot of cases when teenagers enter porn websites, and it is becoming a new problem such as demoralization of the youth. However the people will not have freedom of speech like they have in internet, and it is obvious that if the government would take over, people will not able to put anything against even in internet. So, in my point of view there should be some regulations put on offensive websites. Side: No

Why should government control the internet? We live in democratic country and have right to talk everything what we want, we should express our opinions without fear of repressing. Internet is international source of the information and dialogue means and there should work special laws which do not belong to particular country. Side: No
i agree we live in democratic country, but democracy should not be suffered if government take control under certain part of internet. it will follow after decreasing porno sites and sites with a lot of cruel behaviour of people. i don't say let's create IG but let's allow government control some aspects of internet Side: yes
I'm totally against of internet governance. Even if it can guarantee safety from terrorists, religious sects and porno-sites, I still think that there is no government which will use that power properly without abuse. It's not about diminishing human rights, but more like making up a totalitarian society with a dictator (government), who will control not only our computers but also our minds. By the way, have everybody thought that it already exist? Big Brother is watching you or something like that Side: No

I strongly believe, that government shouldn't control Internet resources. We all know, that Internet is the only resource which is not control by anyone, including government. All things which are written there in most cases true, but, of course there is information which is only imagination of some people. Nevertheless, all other resources, like newspapers, TV, magazines are controlled by government and all news, which are written or showed, are made by government and such source like newspaper just inform us, while the Internet gives freedom of speech. Even now, we discuss different topics, which may be banned, but no one can stop to discuss, we have freedom to tell what we want and impress our opinions. Also, nowadays teenagers have stoped to read newspapers, watch recent news and they, in most cases, do not know what is happening in the world. But, with the help of the Internet they know all news and such news may be even more real than news on TV, for instance. That is why, to my mind, government should not control Internet resources. Side: No
You gave me really strong argument... But, as you have said there are a lot of false information in Internet resources. Yes, we have got a freedom of speech, it's great in some ways, but what you can tell about spam? Spam like, the things that tells us that id we won't resend that or this message you will die in a few days, our children getting afraid of this thing. Side: yes
You are right about spams. I agree, that children may afraid of them and in some ways thay sometimes bear viruses, but we have to explain our children that this is just joke, which was sent by person who has nothing to do, and they shouldn't afraid of spam. Anyway Internet recources shouldn't be controlled by government. Let's leave something that isn't regulated by state, and let it will be the Internet! Side: No

I don't think that govenment should control internet resources because it will make internet not so interesting, i'm not talking about communication where every person could share with other people with own minds, for example by internet you could download your favorite music and if givernment will control everything, they could ban such sites which gives you an opportunity to download the music or films too. I'm for free internet, and if government will control internet resources it will make internet boring Side: No
