Internet Censorship Can not Solve Problems


Not long ago memorized five Elementary School (SD) in Poso, Sulawesi Selatan, raping his classmate. Once asked, the boy admitted five rape compelled to after seeing porn photos on mobile phones. Still fresh in the news, a junior high school student in East Jakarta victims of rape and abduction by five "friend" her Facebook. Persuaded the victim to ground coffee with the lure will be smartphones. Then this young girl was taken to a rented house, and held there for days.
In recent years, cases of kidnapping, rape, against teenagers and children, who came from social media and the internet, as if he had been in the news everyday. Feels sad, technology should simplify human activity actually utilized for criminal things. Moreover victim children and adolescents.
What should be done? Blocking? Censoring? Filtering? Prohibiting children access social media at all? Impossible. There are more than 43 million Facebook users in Indonesia, as reported by Sociobalkers.com last year. This year that number has swelled definitely. Most can be ascertained are children and adolescents. Rules that facebook users have over 16 years do not seem ignored. Falsifying age in cyberspace is not difficult.
We can not stem the flow of information and technological advances. Everything is the impact of the progress of civilization. Also difficult if you have to block the progress of technology and information to children and adolescents. Because blocking policy will only reap a new problem, namely hacking alias burglary.
Block information is also likely to make parents feel everything is safe, but it is not. Computers and gadgets at home can be filtered, sterilized from various access to porn sites and social media.
But whether children and adolescents will not say anything? Of course not. Getting banned, they will be more curious. Okay to behave well in the home, do not access porn sites or playing up, because all computers are filtered. But they can go to the cafe, friends borrow your laptop, or any opening in web mobile.
Remember, now standard phone once already supported browser. Acts done secretly, without the knowledge of the parents, it would be far more dangerous than those made in a transparent manner. Because no one can control them.
Many parents missed, well-behaved children feel at home, never open a porn site, before I know it do immoral. After investigation, it turns out the child is accessing porn sites at the cafe or a friend's house.
There is also the neglect of parents, who thought his son would be fine waived access a variety of information without any moral debriefing. "Ah, so be it. Times have modern, we have freed their parents, later if not exactly out of date. "
Parents buy all the gadgets they need, and deliver them engrossed in it. Then the old man was busy himself with his gadgets. There's even older people are actually happy that their children are busy with gadgets, because fussy and will not disturb the peace. They are allowed to play games for hours without time limit, or engrossed in front of Facebook without the monitor.
We do not need to find out who is at fault. Facebook, video games, Twitter, porn sites, or whatever it is, is just a man-made technology. Surely humans can be controlled.
Children and adolescents, is a user of technology, which could have euphoria to technological advances, making it easy to believe the content therein.
While parents, is supervising the child, who may still stutter technology, busy with work, making it less able to understand how to respond to technological advances and euphoria children.
Once again, do not blame the technology, because it's just a man-made tool. It is we humans who control it.
