A fundamental principle of the human
rights is that all individuals have the right to freedom of opinion and
expression. On November 19, 2015, Mansur
Mirovalev wrote an article in the human rights section of Aljazeera.com. This article discusses various aspects of a Russian
blogger facing five years in prison for publicizing an online poll. “An ethnic Russian blogger from Kazakhstan's east was given
five years in jail for publishing an online poll as whether his region should
follow Ukraine's Crimea did, court officials said on Thursday.”
The blogger alleged
that he did not create the poll and removed the link as soon as the poll became
controversial.
The primary point is that blogs and other
various forms of social media are used everywhere without specific rules.
Specifically, I have this blog because schools encourage students to
participate in this type of communication. Internet is the electronic thread
that connects the world. However, the Internet has routinely been blamed for
creating chaos such as unauthorized and confidential information leaks and
active recruitment of terrorism. As soon as children learn how to read and
write, they immediately want to participate in social media. I strongly believe
that the Internet needs to be regulated in order to definitely delineate what
is truly illegal behavior with respect to Internet usage.
