Internet freedom
Monday, 15 August 2011
Hey, this is my first time blogging but hopefully not my last... So I was looking up videos On YouTube and the featured videos were from Amnesty International, you all probably know about Amnetsy but in case you don't, they do amazing work all around the world for human rights and are a strong leading role in protests, potistions and knowledge. So I had a look at they're videos as I've participated in many of my schools and their online work, and decided to let y'all know what I thought. By the way, well done in reading this! The very fact you're here means you have a lot more freedom then some, yes it's true... The fact you're on the Internet is a limited freedom, which is the exact opposite of what the entire point of the web is!!! It was made for easy communication and information to be shared between everyone on the planet, but some governments choose what can and can't be seen by the people in their countries, this can include shutting down Internet servers or shutting down specific sites. People have been beaten, arrested and "disappear" due to what they've written or looked up on the Internet, especially during anti-government situations or if they're openly speaking against leaders. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this is wrong, I know that it may not be the worst thing ever done as torture and death penalties etc... are, to me, a bigger worry but that doesn't change the fact that people are being restricted to keep them as clones because their leaders have decided they don't want any chance of conflict brought up against them. If you guys want to help against this kinda thing, check out Amnestys' website and you can easily help out all you're fellow humans who don't have freedom of speech. Thanks guys! I'll talk to you in awhile :)
