Social media+On-line identity(Anonymity)


     In "More Limits Planned on Internet Anonymity" (The Korea Times, Nov.10.03.2008), Kim Tong-hyung reporter tells about Internet anonymity. The Korea Communications Commission (KCC), the country's broadcasting and telecommunications regulator, says Internet users will be required to confirm their identity to post comments or participate in online discussions at popular Web sites starting soon.

     However, due to the unclear definition of cyber bullying and attacks, critics argue that the government's new regulations could pose a significant threat to the freedom of online speech and may eventually open the door to cyber censorship.

     I agree KCC's plan. I think best of Internet's merit is thing we can say what we want to express and own many people's opinions. Anonymity has some advantages, but has harm cases and defects too. Some people curse and swear to specific person because they don't be known their names and faces to other Internet users. My heart bleeds for cyber bullying and attacks. And when I see cyber bullying and attacks, I lose faith in human goodness.

     Netiquette is the set of rules and customs that it is considered polite to follow when we are communicating by means of the Internet. I think, to be sure, netiquette's spread is needed. So if Internet anonymity is limited, people can assume the responsibility and be considerate of others´ feelings. Also we can get more exact informations because when people hardly spread falsehood things.

     I think about Internet Anonymity, it has some merits but the real-name system has more advantages. So I agree limiting Internet anonymity.
