Muzzling the Internet

In my opinion the editorial “Internet Censorship: How heavy a hand should the government play?” posted on Money Talks is an effective and convincing argument on the topic of internet censorship. The author states that rather than infringing on the right to free speech of the American people and attempting to censor the entire internet, they government should instead work towards apprehending those who have committed illegal acts online. The author makes valid and logical suggestions for how the government can go about regulating the internet. For example, localized censorship programs exist for personal computers, and it would be impractical and unconstitutional for the government to completely censor all internet usage. Therefore, the government should work to prevent large and illegal activity while letting users filter out the everyday things that they wish to avoid. The presented arguments allow for our constitution and rights while taking into account practicability. The post presents itself in an easy to comprehend paragraph format, rather than being a gargantuan wall of text, allowing for better reader comprehension. Overall, the post is well written and reasoned, with reasonable arguments being supported by logic.
