I object agaisnt the Internet real-name system. The Internet real-name system is now becoming a worldwide hot issue. It is because that cyber crime is increasing and most of crime is committed due to Internet’s anonymity. For example, famous Korean actress Choi Jin-sil did suicide becaused of vicious rumors and comments on the Internet. So, many people say that a more stronger laws about cyber crime is needed because the law will make people more responsible on the internet and cyber crime will naturally decrease.
However, I think that this is just too simple opinion. This is more difficult as people think. This system presupposes that all citizens spresd false information. It means there might be innocent victims under this system. Let's imagine that there is a student who is suffering from sexual harassment by class teacher. The student may want to ask somebody for help in ways of writing on the bulletin board on the website. If the board reveals one's name, the student never can't wirte a post on the internet. In conclusion, the Internet real-name system violates constitutional rights of free speech. The problem isn't anonymity, but is morality. I think easy solution isn't right solution.
As you know, Korea internet technology is well-developed. But I think it causes some problems. A fews of netizens are rude and ugly. It'll be difficult to solve this problem.
ReplyDeleteI think real-name system is not the best solution for most of cyber crimes, and it would cause other worse problems. Why don't they spend money not for making new system but for educate childrens about on-line manners?
ReplyDeleteI think we need to accept real-name system on the Internet depending on situations. For examples, when we write a comment on friend's blog, real-name system is not important. However sometimes we need real-name system like post something on government's websites.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure which is better.
