Especially internet has a nifty contribition. Internets most important two features which are pure information and well accessibility are gift from network developers to general public. Some believes that this incumbrance is very helpful for tenderity and some former(a)s advocates that internet will be a tool for mean and malevolent people such as terrorists,racist or pedophiles.Democracys most well known feature is universe free as shadow as possible. Person who lives in egalitarian country can do what s/he wants to do without abusing the other peoples rights,feelings and independences. Accordingly on this definition , people can access to internet when they want. They can communicate with each other or surf on the internet and no one can lay oer users. Internet is a new way of promoting democracy. It is a new airfield that capable for keeping in touch with billions of people. It does not need to detain or it never dies. However this event depend on governments and regimen attitude towards the internet.As you imagine that, internets simplicity creates powerful fundamental interaction. This interaction ability leads billions of peoples attention. This interaction power and lots of peoples attention may cause a handicap for Authorities. Becouse of this great power States and Authorities want to control it. Thanks to the democracy, in that location is a obstacle for that. Our rights are saved by law of natures and governments can not moderate our internet freedom. Let assume that all of the developing and developed countries are beindg governing with get it on democracy.In this circumstance,a large amount of people can pass on various imformation easily. Only one click on the mouse opens a door to the rest of the world. Jamie Metzl describes the inter net as a quick and gimcrack way of exchanging the information. It is a great invention that people may overhear information very fast and very soft. People can predict their voice and express their ideas. People may also express themselves without the internet but internet makes this turn faster. Sharing ideas has break easier with internet. Because internet provides lean of informatin without any corruption or changes.For example (from dick Brophy and Edward Helpins article), human rights organizations were challenging with authoritarian governments early 80s but ulterior internet usage has started to grow and they have gained adventage from internet. They published their articles and annunced their activities freely. In Peter Brophy and Edward Helpins article, Amnesty International which is an organization that protects human rights all over the world. In their Indonesia campaign , they used the online communication becouse government could not devising intervention to that area.Day by day Indonesian people have become more aware about their rights and resisted to governments human rights abuses. briefly , internet provides democratic rights for people. With internets contribitions people can substantiate the democracy in fast and easy way. Internet is such a great invention that it is easiest way to foster freedom. There is no force pressure, police stick, or torture for readings, songs and idea expressions. It means that there is no this kind of scary affects for being free. People know that they can read, get a line or say what they want with internet.This is the chief(prenominal) reason for internets popularity. Completely democratic countries have been allowing flow of information for many years. demur democratic and liberal countries citizens, people couldnt express themselves freely in the beginning the invention of the internet. For example in Turkey, in early 80s lots of author was imprisoned by military because of their ideologies and books. Also military was burning ideological books. Even today Turkish citizens arent recognizing the complete freedom. However, it changed recently. Lately 90s internet has become popular and there was no limitation for it.That interval was the pure freedom for internet users. It is a fact that, only way for spread of an idea is communication. Frequency, power and urge on of communication are directly proportional with dissemination of idea or information. A users idea could be effective on the other user. Different thoughts could become an ideology at the internet. For example a couple months ago Turkish government has started to applying safe-internet which is software for limiting the internet. frequent bloggers wrote articles about it and they raise awareness about this law.Firstly bloggers and a lot of users avouch this issue on web but it didnt be effective. after that bloggers planned a real protest at streets. They invited both internet users and well-mannered publ ic to strike this issue. Thousands of people responded this call and they protest that law because, government tried to abuse their internet freedom. However, some people argue that internet isnt kind of a tool that helpful for democratic developments. In dictatorships and non-democratic countries internet doesnt work properly while process of promoting the democracy.Censorship issue and authoritarian pressures prevent flow of information. Not only civil people use the internet. Governments have their own websites or blogs. Publics internet is being limited with same technology by governments. civil programmers call that the Censor ware. There are lots of ways for closure or limiting access to websites. Most well-known are sack up filters which programmed by states programmers. Another one is avoiding the website. Jonathan Strickland mentioned this issue in his article. For Strickland, Governments block access to the web pages they identify as undesirable.Undesirable means that the websites which criticizes the states ideology or contrary with governments activities. As a result, these actions cause a counter belief for internets democracy foster power. In conclusion, many people believe that internet is accelerating the freedom and democracy in most of the countries. A few people disagreeing with that but generally thought of internets contributions to democracy is positive. Two main features of this technology are helping people which are fast and easy and fast accessibility and not corrupted information.
