I'm totally split on this question. There are some things that shouldn't be available to everyone on the internet--things such relating to the safety of our troops and safety of our citizens in general. Then there are things such as pornography that can be seen by anyone just by a click of a mouse--but if they want to seek it out that badly, why not make it easily obtainable?
There are also things such as anti-troop groups online, which really make me mad. I'm so pro-military because of my family, and seeing that people don't appreciate the people who are putting their lives on the lines for us just irks me beyond belief. But with things such as that, you can easily look away, turn the page, and in some cases, block seeing things related to that.
Let's turn back a little bit--the Wiki Leaks. People publish secret information pertaining to safety, and government tactics, and who knows what else, because they can.
Again, I'm split in my response. Some things should be censored and controlled by the government, but also keeping things open to the public helps to lower the amount of people that are ignorant and uniformed to certain topics in the world.
