Questions 11 to 14 are related to the following text.
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 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 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 to the same restrictions as television, print, or radio?
[16] 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 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 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.
