Who regulates the internet? 

At the very beginning, as we know, the internet get start to be use before the low beyond it. It is not a normal starting of a mass media, it decides that everything on internet always comes earlier than the laws. To me, the law is the final but the most important line of internet regulation. And the countries can set laws base on their own internet development or media environment.The public organizisions is good at technical standard making because of widely public resource. But the executive power is too weak to force against the internet crime.

Personally, do you think there should be internet censorship?

Absolutely YES

Why?

The reason why a lot of the information not responsible published on internet, is the information disclosed is thought to be in a safe position (that is used on the network, network names, non-own real name), leading to some irresponsible statements frequently appear.Comprehensive regulatory on the behaviors of Internet users can technically make sure the responsibilities located to the individual, to make all the outgoing speech history is evidence-based.Another very important aspect is the technical and institutional regulatory on the behavior of Internet users makes a certain sense of deterrence.Then they will consider the results of the behavior they took in the proccess of internet visiting or using. Thereby reducing the production of irresponsible remarks behavior and guide Internet users surfing habits to develop healthy and appropriate sense of responsibility.

As far as I know, there are no owner, or a King of the World Wide Web on the net, but there are Internet regulation bodies that work behind the scenes, for example, the ISOC, the IAB, the PFIR, etc, this organization help to keep everything on the Internet running smoothly.

However, strictly speaking, on the Internet there is barely any regulation at all. So somehow, even if a countries like Malaysia want to pass a laws for the Internet, or to create an Internet censorship, the problem still lies in enforcing those laws beyond their own borders, this kind of problem is what make the act of trying to create a regulation for the Internet to be ineffective.

So, basically, I think it is a waste of a time trying to regulate, or control something so vast and boundless like the Internet. It wasn't owned by anyone or any country, so how did you expect to control something free that belong to everyone? Impossible.

1. Who regulates the internet? 
    I don't really know who but they said:" there are Internet regulation bodies that work behind the scenes to keep everything running semi-smoothly."

2.Personally, do you think there should be internet censorship?
    I think no need a internet censorship. 

3. Why?
    This is because that thing really trouble. That censorship create for what use?? To prevent cyber crime ?? to prevent the case like in the at the blog, prince Harry naked picture. That why I said internet censorship are useless, trouble and annoying, it just useful for a litter group of people only like the royal, film star and other.

Who regulates the internet? 

I think that is no one regulates it.

Do you think there should be internet censorship? 

I could not give the define answer because it have too much variable reasons.

If should be, that will be worry to strictly over about content.
If should not be, that will occur more of language incident in online. 
In my reflection, internet censorship should be exist in network,

Why?

Although people are hope to hold a communication of free speech, but if a report of uncorroborated true of false occur in online, it must be will lead to even more disturbance.
It just only more of more personal attacks and the comments of no relationship appear in the network.

Topic 2

I'm aware of this issue, and I believe that a lot of people also aware of this, but in reality, how many people actually realize the potential danger that this issue may bring?

If I have to give an example, lets look at us Malaysian, we know that our personal security and information are at risk, but in general, how many people did take this issue seriously? Minority.

This probably caused by the safe situation and environment that we have in Malaysia. Here, we barely have any cyber crime nor cases related to cyber crime, unlike what happen in the United States where crimes related to personal information and security is the norm, most social network user in United Stated barely put any pictures nor personal information in their profile to avoid any information leaked.

In February 2012, people from Malaysia was recorded as the 2nd most active in using Facebook in Southeast Asia, and the highest status poster and photo uploader also came from Malaysia, and to be exact, this issue not only related to Facebook alone, there are plenty social network site that exist on the net, just imagine how much potential danger exist with that.

So, back to the question, should we stay on Facebook after knowing this?
It depends, if you could stick at using Facebook as solely as social media, and not as a tool to tell the whole world everything about you, by any means, keep using it.

Topic 2

In fact, I am not a user of facebook because of the internet environment of China. But I also use other social network or web sites to communicate with my friends and my family. Because the functions of these website are similar to each other, like, you can tag a friend or someone you know in a picture in a crowd of strangers.

After reading the article "Facebook's Privacy Issues Are Even Deeper Than We Knew", I think this kind of Issues are not only happened in Facebook, it is widely happened in our social network.Even in this blog, you can target on my user information, and see my pictures on google+, and find more information about me step by step if you have enough patience.

If we want to focus on the privacy issues, Facebook is only a little tip of the iceberg. Every trace of using the social network is the mark to show who we really are.

For example: A friend identifies a furniture advertisement posted by me in a forum, and she speaks nicely to help me in the advertisement. Then somebody check her user information of her and find there's a blog address. The "somebody" check out my friend's address, find out a tagged picture of us and the name of the tag is similar to the nickname witch i used to post the advertisement.The"somebody" links to my blog from my friend's bolg and see another picture i took in front of my university. OK, the "somebody" now knows I am a MMU student, how I look like, and also i am selling furniture!

If you are worried about the pictures of yourself posted on internet, you should know the point is not the witch website it is, but who is the poster. Actually, most of time, it is yourself, or your friends.

So, we should not blame the social website about the privacy issues. when we use the social network, we know about the functions and how it effect at the very beginning.The information, pictures, speachs, ect, all posted and published by ourselves. We should control the method of using the social websites, like Facebook, instead of worring about the functions effect to our personal privacy. We should be responsiable for ourselves.

Are you aware of this?

Actually, no.Why? please read the statement above.

Would you still stay on Facebook after knowing this? 

Yes i will.Why? please read the statement above.

Topic 2: Facebook's Privacy Issues

Facebook, for me, that is just a platform for communication. 

I also have an Facebook account, even more than one. And, had upload some picture from time to time.

But, after reading the article, I get some feeling in panic because Facebook maybe will use my picture for commercial use without asking. This act must infringe on personal privacy.

Therefore, i still have continue using Facebook because it is a part of life for me.

And I will take action for protect my personal privacy. For example, minimize the upload picture, use pre-post privacy setting, organize your contacts in group and limited your personal informationin your profile.
