My Confirmation
It's hard to find logical evidences that support my argument. Therefore, I'll use expert opinions and relevant examples from news and also relevant declarations.
First, to decide whether internet censorship is necessary or not, people have to consider the basic purpose of censorship on the internet and netizen's duty of deciding actively about issues. Especially netizens have their duty of deciding whether a source is reliable. We already know that through 'Sinking of the MV Sewol' and 'issue of Yoo byung eun' that were also issued because of the media's relibility. In this situation, Korean government censor the internet, also media regarding as citizens as fool who can't decide whether informations about those issues are reliable or not. Therefore, as the result, people could reconsider their duty to decide whether a source is reliable. In addition, there is a also an example that show netizens can recieve informations actively and have duty of deciding whether a source is reliable or not. From this, netizens can recognize that the basic purpose of censorship on the internet is to help netizen's self-decision whether a source is reliable and they have own ability to decide it.(Recent governments and media have misuse their power that disturb netizen's self-decision.)
Second, internet censorship limits 'netizen's right to know'. Most import part of netizen's right is 'right to know'. Most popular and reliable example that show problems of limiting netizen's right to know is 'China's internet censorship'. As a result, it made conflict between China and Google. And most seriously, it limited not only netizen's informations but their thinking and basic rights. Also it affected to China's refutation(many external media and journalists criticise China's internet censorship system). In addition, internet censorship occur an side effect, 'Streisand effect' that makes unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. It isn't the purpose of censoring internet hard, but as an side effect, it expand netizen's exposure extent on internet informations.
Third, internet censorship ruins 'netizen's freedom'. There are an internet declaration and laws confirm that internet must ensure netizen's freedom. In addition, there are lots of experts' opinion that ask whether internet access a netizen's right to be free. Netizens are basically ensured their right to be free. In the middle of information revolution, the fact that netizens still in the censor by whom is contradictory. Not just thakful to lots of information and Interactive communication, netizens have to consider whether they are enjoying real and enough freedom on the internet.
