censor filter block
Finally the day has arrived. I have been waiting for this day where the times for the need to manage the Internet. Back in the 90s when we first decided to bill out The MSC Malaysia Bill of Guarantees that specifies that the Internet will not be censored, who would have eventually guessed there will be huge loads of undesirable sites?!
It was more than 10 years ago and I do not think it is applicable in today modern world where all the bad and harmful content are beyond one imagination. Everything are being done online on the websites. Information sharing, knowledge and what ever one can think of is on the Internet. Be it the good or bad. It is too much.
As a citizen of Malaysia, I would reckon that filtering, censorship and even blocking of those blog sites are required since the bad elements are all over the Internet. We could do it with more in depth controlling as well. How about filtering those SMS-es as well since it it also vastly spread through this medium?
Hence, then it will be save all the trouble for the management of the Internet if we just allow the entire nation to go to the single website. Maybe a predefined search engine. A Malaysia owned search engine where the content has been filtered. If to do it, we have to do it aggressively and openly. Lets not hide behind the curtains as this is not an act of courage.
All the traffic which is going to oversea IP shall be routed to the local server where the content has been cached according to the likings. Since we all know from the beginning that the citizens could no longer differentiate the bad and good element. Anyway, the way I see it whichever is negative to them is considered as the latter.
Instead of going to facebook, we can create myBook. All the Malaysian will stay inside the same circle. While at it, why not we just change it to closed door policy for the Internet? Not a bad idea huh? Kim Jong III, you are my her!!!
*note: too bad my sarcasm was not at its best.
