The first reason why information over the internet should be limited by governments is to prevent violence. Over the internet exists many Web Pages that support violence.
Today online people over the internet can download or upload any kind of information like videos, songs or documents that has violence in their content. Also, media with violence can influence people to provoke violent acts. For example, boys and girls that watch on internet the high rated program called “The Simpsons”, have a lot of possibilities of being influenced by violence.
Another reason why governments should limit the information over the internet is to reduce illegal downloads. Today, many people use internet to download illegal music, movies or information. In addition over the internet exist many Web Pages where you can download illegal movies, music, or information. For instance, many people or companies lose a lot of money due to illegal downloads of music, movies, or information.
Finally, the most important reason why governments should limit the information over the internet is to protect personal information. First, social networks such as Facebook, Hi5, or MySpace store personal information about each user, people can easily still personal information of other users and use it with their own benefits. For example, in Mexico people have been kidnapped due to their profile web page on Facebook.
However, there are many people that believe that internet must remain free with no limitations. They think that internet is something to express how people think and to show the true of the world. They just believe that internet show them the true of what is happening in the world. People are tired of
being deceived by the big news companies, and they want more information no matter what, even if the information has violence, illegal, or personal information in their content.
In conclusion, there are three main reasons why governments should put limitations on the type of information available on internet, in order to maintain internet as a safe place and prevent violence, reduce illegal downloads, and protect personal information.

Terrible. First, you need to brush up and grammar and syntax. Your argument will never sway people's emotions if you fail to properly use language to convey your message. Second, this paper contains nothing but unfounded assumptions. Find some studies that set precedent for your claims, then cite and reference them. Find a study that adequately demonstrates a correlation between violent television and violent behavior; extrapolate, draw your own conclusions. Otherwise, your argument doesn't have a leg to stand on.
