In many countries around the world, they don’t have blocks on internet access of websites deemed unacceptable, but in the UAE there is a block on websites. Some people disagree, believing that they should be free to find the things which they search for. Others agree strongly with the need for media control. This essay will examine the arguments for and against media control.
There are many arguments against etisalat blocking websites. Some people feel that they should be free to decide what they want to read from websites. They think they are mature enough to know what is good and bad. Others feel that blocking websites is pointless today. It is also impossible to block websites on satellite or on the internet. One of the biggest objections to etisalat blocking websites is that much material is blocked for no apparent reason.
There are many arguments for blocking websites and I agree with them. People in favor of blocking websites believe strongly that the society needs to be protected aganst pornographic material. Very few people would support the availability of hard core pornographic movies or magazines. Another point in favor of blocking websites is that many people are not educated enough to understand for example the children.
In conclusion, there are strong points for and against blocking websites. However, on balance, I believe the supporting arguments more that other argument. But the government should shut down the internet because there is too much information.
