Manipur Internet ban hurts feelings, learning!
Recommended for Preparatory Grades
Greetings, oh seeker of wisdom! So, there’s this big debate going on about the Internet, and some people want to stop it from working in certain places.
Can you imagine what life would be like without the Internet? It can make things really tough for people, especially for their work, school, and daily activities.
Recently, there was a video that got super popular on the Internet. It showed something really bad happening to two women in Manipur. Now, some people say that when the Internet is shut down in such situations, it can actually hide important information about bad things happening. They think that’s not good because then people won’t know about these terrible acts.
Internet Dilemma: Balancing Safety & Freedom
- There are other people, like security forces and experts, who believe that sometimes it’s necessary to shut down the Internet in certain places to keep things safe. They say it should be done carefully and for a limited time only. Because if videos like that one from Manipur keep spreading, it can make the situation even worse and lead to more violence.
- Some groups, like the Internet Freedom Foundation and the Software Freedom Law Center, think that shutting down the Internet completely is not fair. They say it doesn’t help stop violence and can even hide the truth about human rights violations. They believe in transparency, which means being honest and open with the public. But they also understand that in some cases, it’s better to control the information until things calm down.
- You know, it’s like trying to find the right balance between keeping people informed and preventing more problems. But in Manipur, there’s a tricky situation because some wrong information is being spread through traditional media like TV and newspapers too.
- The experts say that having the Internet available can really impact how people respond to situations. But right now, the Internet is still not fully open in Manipur. Only a few people have a special kind of Internet connection. They’re trying to be careful about it because they want to avoid any more trouble.
- In the end, it’s a tough challenge to figure out what’s best for everyone. We need to think about how to use the Internet responsibly. Plus make sure it’s used in a way that helps people, not hurts them.
- So, that’s the big debate about the Internet shutdowns in Manipur. It’s like a puzzle, and different people have different opinions. But it’s important to remember that we should treat each other kindly! Even when we disagree, we must always be sensitive to the feelings of others. Let’s hope they find a solution that works for everyone!
