IS INTERNET IN VIOLATION OF OUR HUMAN RIGHTS?
Internet has granted us a new way of learning,a more practical manner of reaching wanted information,it has given us freedom in many aspects but it seems that this freedom is nowdays more ABUSED than USED
The internet may have given us a new approach to learning and more available information about any subject of our interest but it contains a lot of dangers as well...internet besides the educational contents also consists out of pornography and terrorist sites and not mention child pornography and pedophile chains that are virtually untouchable online.Internet has given us many privileges but they are often abused and for that the freedom of expression has lost its meaning in the case of this powerful media.
The internet is not the true cause of the problem,its true purpose is not to harm but to help and not all users are to blame,so again we seek for the anomaly in the creation not in the creator,again we search for the problem in use rather than the user...The answer is that the problem is in us but it seems it is easier to blame than to take the blame.

IS INTERNET IN VIOLATION OF OUR HUMAN RIGHTS?
Internet is just a tool for communication and getting information
It isn't like it was purpose built to violate human rights, like a torture device. Some people use it to violate human rights, such as child pornography rings and the Government secretly reading people's emails. Most people don't. The people who violate human rights would find some other way to do so even if there was no Internet.
