Internet society group regulates the internet.Internet regulation is basically restricting or controlling access to certain aspects or information. Internet regulation consists of censorship of data, and controlling aspects of the Internet such as domain registration, IP address control and more. Personally, I think there should be internet cencorship because it is easy for children to access pornographic material, such as if they just doing a search for something harmless sports pictures, it may be will appear indecent materials photographs and some child pornographic images will slide naively click it. Thus, we may use this to prevent those things happen.

Who regulates the internet?
Well, according to my research through Google, there are no assured answers. Some said that no one is regulating the internet, some said that it is the government that regulates the internet. One of the answer I found is, the internet is regulated by IETF. IETF a.k.a. Internet Engineering Task Force is the governing body of the internet, from my research, it is also explain that IETF is a large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture. I was thinking, if IETF is the governing body, it should be the one who regulates the internet. But there are too many answers about this topic and makes me confuse a lot, wondering which one is the true answer. There is another answer is that there are several groups that controls the internet, such as:- The Internet Society and ICANN, etc... From my research, the best answer I think is the governing body of Internet regulates it.
Personally, I think there should be internet censorship. Because This can filter the contents of the web, in order to let the internet access the information. Besides that, they can also use censorship method to block certain sites, hide certain information that is sensitive. Although it is a bit though if there is internet censorship, some websites cannot be viewed, but for using the internet wisely, I will still think that internet censorship should be there.

TOPIC DISCUSSION 3 (Week 12)
Who regulates the Internet?
No one, the TCP/IP protocol on which all Internet protocols are based is not patented and can be implemented by anyone. It can also continue to operate without anyone central system in charge. But like all things there's someone "policing" them, like the NSI (National Security Institute). To conclude I'll say that it doesn't matter if their is someone regulates the Internet or not as long as the Internet is will just remand the same not patented and can be implemented by anyone.Personally, do you think there should be Internet censorship?
What kind of question is this! Of course NO! there should not be any Internet censorship.
Okay, let's look at this way, why do you think we should have Internet censorship? Is it to prevent youngsters exposed to all kinds of social networking, political, pornographic materials or whatever sensitive issues? This is not the Internet fault it is youngsters nature to be curious of our world and what is happening. For younger age group, parents should be responsible to give proper advice to their children. Teens and young adults should already have proper education and they have their right view the information. Filtering the Internet and editing the Internet is like feeding us with lies. We have our rights to know! Thoughts who support the censorship I'll say that they are immature and scared of what mite happened but not what will happened.

TOPIC DISCUSSION 3 (Week 12)
-Who regulates the internet?
-Personally, do you think there should be internet censorship? Why?
After searching for the answers online on who regulates the internet, it turns out to be the Internet Engineering Task Force (a.k.a IETF) are the ones who regulates the internet. But the more I search for the answer, some even said that no one regulates the internet. This is making me confused as to who is the one that regulates the internet. The answers are varied and I can't seem to find the best answer as to who regulates the internet. There is also one of the website that states that the Federal Communications Commission is the one that regulates the internet. So, as I know, in my final answer, any form of government or non-government organization is the one that regulates the internet.
Personally, I think there should be internet censorship.Internet censorship is the censor concerning sensitive issues. If internet censorship happens, we can never know what we are expose to. For example, we can access the internet as much as we want without knowing our limits. This can lead to us being exposed to all kinds of social disorders especially for the youngsters who are still naive to a lot of things that are happening. This can lead them to be violent and to boast crime rate. With the internet censorship, most of this problems can be avoided.
We can take an example from China. The government of China block Facebook into their country to avoid their people to turn against them because if they were to exposed to the outside source, many of their people will not be trusting their own government.
Overall, the internet must have censorship with limitations. This can impose filter but not to fully restrict the people's freedom to voice out by having their own rights too.

Discussion Week 12
Who regulates the internet? The internet sources are everywhere and we are suppose to have our own freedom to access to it. Somehow we've been block to certain content that. Does we really have a party that involve in managing the content? Due to Google search, the 1st thing appear on the top list is Internet Society, but who authorized them to do so? Government? Or some international big organization? We will never know but we know why, which is something needs to be cover and something we should not be told.
Internet censorship has been a topic all the years, some feels that it is a should and must while some thinks that it is unnecessary because the internet are meant to be free. Why censorship? To protect us or to hide something from us? Some information has been censor to us, where we only see part of the stories without knowing the whole. It is good to give the society a "peaceful" news to prevent chaos but what if, the truth had been filtered and only negative are brought to the people?
I heard a story, where a news journalist from other country was fired because he insist to report on the dark side or the politician. Is that fair enough? No I should say. To me, certain level of censorship is good for the society, but hiding the truth just to keep some dirty politician or organization safe? That is awful. In the end, it depends on us, ourselves to think and digest what we read through the net. It is very important for individual to have rational mind when reading an article or a news. Defining that the trustworthy of the content we read, make a deeper research so that we have precautions.

The Conversational Coffee House Effect
Stating a quote from an unknown observer “The Coffee houses particularly are very commodious for a free Conversation, and for reading at an easie Rate all manner of printed News,” is surprisingly a very true statement. It is hard to believe that we advance in technology by going back in time and perfect the imperfections, that the old is the latest new.
As the old style of newspaper and TV evolves to those of the on-line Facebook and Twitter, our method of communicating have changed drastically as ordinary people are sharing, distributing and discussing news in an instant like those on Twitter. The idea that the readers are also challenging the media elites with the unofficial assistance of technological firms such as Facebook and Pinterest is really a revolution. With the current situation of the internet, information transparency helps reduces the partisanship that maybe misleading as most of the media fabricated their stories just to improve their appeal to readers and advertisers.
From all of the splendid perks we have on information transparency from the internet, not everything is utopia as we see as everything has two sides like a coin and the price of information transparency also revolves around sensitive information that may want to remain in the shadows and can have fatal consequences if published. This darker side of this coin is known as journalism unaccountability, that can be exploited by blackmail as well as extortion.
Effortless to say, the internet belongs to no one and everyone. In my personal opinion, it is unwise to have internet censorship because it might change the whole perspective by leaving a part of the story out of the picture. Imagine yourself trying to understand something by looking through a straw, it will alter your perspective of the subject and hence the choices and verdicts could be different.
