Fast and unmanaged access to the internet, supported by technological advancements, affects the public. I firmly believe that every access should be under surveillance, reflecting early exposure to safety.
One of the primary reasons is that controlled management facilitated by innovative technologies prevents cybercrime. In this modern era, the digital literacy of society plays a vital role in security. However, cybercrimes are observed in public frequently. Access management detects the early stages of crime and prevents it. If users’ data are well protected by the government, it will become hard to hack, resulting in strong protection of users’ information. Thus, every access to information should be controlled by special organizations.
Apart from the aforementioned security measures, age-appropriate content is also considered an essential form of protection. If social media platforms were not properly regulated, they would be flooded with age-inappropriate videos and other harmful content. This could expose children and teenagers to material that is unsuitable for their age. Furthermore, unrestricted access to such content may have a negative impact on young people’s mental and emotional development. For this reason, social media companies should implement effective age verification systems and content moderation policies. These measures help create a safer online environment while allowing users to benefit from digital platforms responsibly.
In conclusion, I believe that access to information should not be restricted completely. Instead, governments, technology companies, and individuals should work together to reduce the risks while preserving the many benefits of free access to information.
