Should the Internet Be Censored?

Conclusion
With this in mind, it should not be a question of government censorship of cyber-porn but rather of more observant and active parenting. The U.S. government is not in a position to support any particular religious, moral, or ethical value so by censoring the Internet this may inadvertently occur. The Internet is a worldwide media resource and therefore the U.S. or any one government can totally censor what is available on the Internet. Censorship of such things as hacking would only be possible if each individual Internet provider was legally forced to filter or block out selected web sites with the offending material. Not only would this be a costly venture but one that would have to be constantly monitored with the influx of web sites. In the United States we are protected by the First Amendment in which freedom of speech is protected. Censoring the Internet in regards to cyber-porn and hacking would be revoking this staple of our country. This nation was founded on the freedom of choice and consequently if the Internet is censored then that ethos will come crashing down.
