What is the problem with creating a culture or fantasy world? If people can’t express themselves in the real world, should we not allow them to do it over cyberspace? Why stop them if they’re not hurting anyone?
There are several reasons why people should not be able to express everything about themselves even in cyberspace. One reason is the fact that they are hurting people, it may not be in a physical way but they are in fact causing damage. The main group that they are affecting is teenagers and young children. Now I know that parents are ultimately in charge of the content that they should be reading and viewing, but let’s face it, there is no way to supervise 24/7. Don’t get me wrong, I would not have a problem with people expressing themselves if there were better security and limited access to certain sites. The major problem that I see occurring is that young children and teenagers are able to access such sites as porn and anorexia sites with no problems what so ever. Therefore, this fantasy world is definitely hurting people and the danger of it is momentous.
