The challenges of morality on the Internet

Ah! the questions about morality on the internet! The world of cyberspace has encroached our lives so much that we are now losing breath talking about morality on the internet and the challenges facing it.

Morality on the internet, if you ask me, is an none issue. It is not that internet makes it difficult for people to keep their morals. No. Internet just makes it easy and convenient for people to experiment with their morals.You can take advantage of the anonymity internet offers and lose track of your morals but it is you who is in charge, not the internet. You chose to do something on the internet, so to blame the internet is wrong.

The anonymity you get on the internet is present on other places too, like when you travel somewhere where no one knows you. But how many times do people ask you about the challenges of morality when you travel? None. So why be so judgmental against the internet and not question about the people who choose to forget their values.

I believe that instead of being concerned about challenges of morality over the internet, we should be concerned about challenges morality facing in the real world. Because what happens in the real world does affect the cyber world.
