- It's a long-running debate: how should we regulate the internet and social media?
While sites including facebook and twitter allow us to share information, they've also become places for illegal and harmful content to thrive.
The UK now wants those firms to be more responsible.
The government will appoint its Broadcast regulator Ofcom as an online watchdog, with powers to force companies to take down certain material.
Other countries such as Germany and Australia have brought in measures to control online content.
But is regulation the answer? And can it be done without violating personal freedoms?

When are parents going start being parents stop relying on strangers do there job monitor their kids be parents before our rights is gone as grown adults
True words, maybe parents should check Xbox and PlayStation messages occasionally, some real creeps approach your children!
Exactly... this is the DIGITAL AGE. The simple lesson is _do not digitally upload things you fear leaking out._
Because most parents don't do that and most probably shouldn't be parents
Everyone should be given a number that access the internet and can be compared to a drivers license number. Wishing death on each other or cyber bullying etc. should be punishable by being banned from the internet for a good amount of time. Any account you have rather it’s PlayStation or Instagram that is tied with that internet access number you have should be affected as well.
Just turn the power off, now it's regulated lol
Come on people!!! Its obvious what you upload is out there!!! Don't put up what you will regret! Regulating is another word for controlling free speech!
Yeah I agree, but if free speach means spreading lies like, corruption and point blank fake news to distort others......should it?
im doing an essay on this, please, does anyone know what the current laws are in the UK regarding this and how it has changed since this was posted? Thx
From what I observed, nowadays people are too sensitive. Something too small offensive words, people all over the internet suddenly attacks that commentator. Calling names etc.
It's a pretty interesting report, for sure! Thanks Inside Story!
Thanks for the news story.
Really good quality world news channel this Al Jazeera
It is important to regulate harmful content eg things promoting suicide or pedophilia - but of course, understandably, people don't want to lose reasonable avenues of free speech.
Suicide is not illegal. Obviously anything which is unlawful must be regulated, but otherwise it's up to parents to regulate their own children. They could start by not buying phones and data contracts. Your definition of reasonable may not coincide with other's definition of the same.
Not by governments.
But private companies like CZcams can do ANYTHING they want and it's NOT censorship. It's just business.
Governments regulate everything. I assure you none of the "Social Media" will get away with giving out sensitive national security data.
??? They cannot break law.
Regulations, hu!,that would be the stupid idea ever. Autocratic leaders would adopt to it, because already they have dismissed public gatherings and therefore would turn to social media to suppressed people from speaking out. Social media have bring about revolutions in political terms like sudan,Gambia,Tunisia and the like. Most fall of autocratic regime have a link to social media's effort cause that is a place to express freely without contraction. Though,some used it for other things,but in most part of the world, social media doesn't need regulation.
I Think News Medias Needs To Be Governed.
I won't thumbs this up or down, because it depends on WHO'S regulation will be used. 😐
No.
No free and fair social media should be fall all
Protecting the children's safety is their parents' job. When did we all somehow forget this?
Protecting them from offense is child abuse. If you don't let your child get offended once in a while, they'll grow up to be frail and ineffectual. Let your kids know how ugly the world really is, so they'll be ready for it when they see it.
freedom is a double edged sword but its worth it in the end
Yes and given a set of well defined rules. Many years ago we had the "Fairness Doctrine". Reagan removed it so the GOP got an upper hand. Now the Liberals have an upper hand and GOP wants fairness. It was a mistake to remove it. We have cycles and all sides will benefit from media which allows more ideas. Today the conservatives; tomorrow the liberals
CZcams'S DEMONETIZATION GROSSLY CENSORED EMEDIA FROM SCIENCE, TO POLITICS, TO ARTS, ETC, FOR RIGHTWING $$$ INTERESTS.
Finally some Punjabi-English-speaking channel
You cant do this without infringing on peoples rights and it will cause billions of dollars in lawsuits against Facebook etc
Well, who knew Marion Cotillard works as an EU policy analyst as a side gig!!!!
Kick us while we’re sleeping. Cause the wake up will be hard. The reason is to control what we know. End of story!
That is selfish
The answer is yes but we will get it wrong

Regulate it from the fakers. Those that speak the Truth, let them have it. Wow! I just said a mouthful didn't I?
Yes,If it happens then it would be better. But it is partially a biased job.
The social media supposed to be regulated... because social media has caused a lot of damages to the society...
I agree
YES PLEASE YES
What do you mean by "should be regulated"? Social media (Facebook, CZcams, etc...) is heavily censored and regulated already, although it's done covertly and ilegally. I guess what you wanted to ask is a little bit different: Should we openly (and legally) have the power to censor social media so that we can have absolute control over the masses and manipulate them without any questionings?
It’s not censored enough, this freedom of speech nonsense is bullshit, hate speech towards other with no consequences, sexual content, content that promotes extremism and content that strives to sway people’s views should be banned ultimately
ISIS : No, Social Media should not regulated.
I praise and thank God, The Creator of us all. I urge people to not take nude photos of others and themselves. I do not do that, and I am very happy; I thank God. So Glorious God Is!
Sorry I really I mean if if you really had a case you would you would go to the courts and have it done but the thing about it is I don't think you have a case because the stuff that you're mad about is probably stuff that they're upset about because you did earlier and you don't want to talk about that part because well it might incriminate you and that these people might have been right and what they said sorta but they didn't do what you did you did wrong but you wanted them to be punished for your wrong and I can't do that in all reality I'm supposed to punish you because of what you did to them that's why you're there with them people you want them to persecute us for yourself
Social media is designed to be addictive so it should be regulated
Defamation laws should be tightened around the world so that anyone defamed on social media can sue for a minimum $1 Million Dollars.
100% Social media's should be Regulated, otherwise very soon world will be in great danger
MEGAN, U'L BE A LOSER UNTIL U BUILD INTEGRITY!!!
Yes it should be regulated.too much vulgarity,sexual,dirty words nakedness ,nastiness.Hateful stuff.Need regulation now.Also need to sensored.
All you mentioned should be just shut down, my opinion. (Had a child sexually exploited) God knows who bought the pictures, sick twisted _____! Fill in the blank with your own thoughts.
Or honestly, teach your children about the digital age like a responsible parent. _”Don’t put anything online that you don’t want people to see kids, even if you think it’s private, because leaks can happen._” Otherwise we’re going to get smashed over the head by nanny state regulations.
1:06 it's funny becouse she did it to herself.. :D
It should be regulated. ⚡
Yes Al Jazeera should be regulated
