EvaluationOverall, I believe that the media should not be regulated as it would mean that there would be no freedom of speech and this would not allow people to give their own views and opinions. For instance, in 2009 China banned Twitter for helping to organise a protest. This is a prime example to not regulate media. Furthermore, it would lead to broadcast being banned as certain news may be kept from citizens but also citizen journalism would be banned, as it helps spread the news about what is going on in other countries. However, some could argue that media should be regulated as it would improve security and protection of information. For instance, recently Cambridge Analytica was in the news for harvesting information many Facebook users for political gains. This meant that private information was being shared and was an invasion of privacy. Additionally, with the media being regulated, it would mean that the government is able to control the undesirable content. By doing this, they can control what kind of content can be shown on tv or they can control private information from being circulated on the internet. |
