Congress is now pushing a law that would end the free and open Internet as we know it. Internet providers like AT&T and Verizon are lobbying Congress hard to gut Network Neutrality, the Internet's First Amendment and the key to Internet freedom. Net Neutrality prevents AT&T from choosing which websites open most easily for you based on which site pays AT&T more. So Amazon doesn't have to outbid Barnes & Noble for the right to work more properly on your computer.

Its scary and unfit for kids, they arent grown enough to being exposed to internet. And more its scary coz theres so much to confuse and very less to lead u in the right way.\nIts is scary if u dont have much knowledge about internet and surfing web. u wont enjoy it to its fullest unless u knwo all about it.

The Internet should NOT be screened, monitored or blocked. There are other ways to protect national security than to track the citizenry's Internet activity. The basis behind the free exchange of thought would be undermined if people were afraid their government were watching and there may be repercussions for their actions and thoughts. I am unequivocally opposed to any kind of monitoring of adults in pursuit of whatever they wish to search for. If you wish to monitor your children's activities, that is fine but as an adult, I do not need the government or anybody else to monitor and/or censor my activities.\n\nPolicing the internet for child predators such as adults posing as children to catch predators is fine. If you are not a child predator, you have nothing to worry about. It would be similar to policing the streets for drug dealers in the cities, if you are not dealing, there is nothing to worry about but I am opposed to monitoring and tracking of people's free exchange of thought.

Dial-up servers can become crowded, they have to thin the herd sometimes.If you are not browsing/surfing, it is assumed you're dozing and drooling on your keyboard, and didn't see the 'Gonna disconnect ya in 43 seconds' message that should pop up. It's also partly for safety from online diseases

Obviously it is, but there's nothing anyone's going to do to stop it.  Watch the Terminator movies, especially the third.  The internet is going to turn into Skynet thanks to technology like this.

Absolutely. There is a huge problem with internet fraud and the proliferation of child pornography. MacLean's magazine had a great article recently titled something like, The Internet Sucks. People think they can spread hate propoganda and get away with it. I'm all for free speech too, but not this kind of free speech.

Because they have nothing better to do with there time, than harass people on the internet. And they also think they can’t be caught, but they can! Have a nice day\n-*Diva*

The internet can be both good and bad.. It just depends on how you, and others use it... What would you want to be safe about it.. Doesn't get much safer.. how many other ways can you look at a live webcam of china while you sit in your underwear..

Because the internet connects all sorts of people together and opens the world to a whole new level of education, jobs and information about everything in the world. That's why it's so-called "The Information Superhighway."

i refuse to answer this question for the simple fact is, the answer could be misconstrued as a terroristic threat, the persons i.d. could be looked up, then the isp, and then, next thing you know. you have the fbi, cia, state and local officials, busting down your door and hauling your computer off to some labratory, and hauling you off to some cell.

since the internet only began just over a decade ago (the first web page is about fifteen i think, the internet has grown a lot.\nif you google ' history of ther internet' or go onto wikipedia you will get a basic idea of the numbers involved.  once the preserve of the dedicated few, most western countries are over 50% saturation for some kind of internet service

piracy is so prevalent on the net, that it's kinda hard to stop all of it.  I know some sights are easier to get to and control than others.

I would assume that several agencies are watching what goes over the net.  In addition, companies are watching the material as well.
