2). I believe controls should be placed on blogs. What kind of controls though? These controls should include a limit of how much can said, but I believe there should be slight restrictions of what can be said, even though there is freedom of speech. A reason for the slight restrictions of what can be said, would stop people from posting things such as the bad things they're going to do to our country, government, or they plan to "Attack" if anything. We don't want people going online and proclaiming these kinds of things or there would be widespread panic across our country from threats that would be being posted. That's one kind of restriction I would want on blogs.
I do see them as distributing power in the culture such as, if a lot of people join a certain organization online or follow someone's blog that is a very outspoken person and if a lot of people agree with him or her. These people could quickly rise in numbers and a lot of power could be distributed among these people mainly because if there's a lot of people following one thing, there's going to be a lot of power there.
3). I do not post much private information online. All I really have is general information like my Birthday, that's about it. I do not feel comfortable with the security, but I do sort of trust it enough. I know most people feel really confident in their security and think they're totally safe from everything, even though they most definitely aren't safe from predators and people looking to steal information.
People these days feel all to comfortable with leaving their private information unprotected, they don't understand the real dangers that lurk out there, and they don't realize how many people are looking to find easy information to steal, cause they believe "Oh it won't happen to me." when in all reality, It can happen to them, as easily as it happens to other people.
5). I have to agree. The internet is most definitely not a right, it is a PRIVILEGE! It's not fair if someone is allowed to use the internet and abuse it, so therefore, they shouldn't be privileged to use the internet. It's hard for the internet to be a right because.. Then it seems like it's saying "Hey!! This is the internet! Everyone can use it for their own purpose whether or not people use it to destroy other people's lives. And the best thing? No one will care cause they can't take your rights away!" As if it's more so a privilege, the internet can be taken away from people because of it's misuse.
The internet is also a large place to get any kind of information that people want to learn.This is a privilege to be able to post all of this information
