Regulation

Regulation is the censorship of particularly harmful content and footage that is available to the public. This can be via blocking it altogether or a system that allows for people of certain ages being able to access media (the age rating on films, games, websites and even some books) this of course has to be implemented with laws or the regulation would not work – however some people still do not follow that understanding and illegal proxy sites like pirate bay exists in which people can steal content as long as they have the means. Schools can regulate what their students see (via networks which is a much smaller scale regulation) and are prone to block indecent websites as well as social media sites. An example in music is the censoring of words considered crass or cuss. Regulators on the other hand must be a well informed diverse group of people with different views. The would most likely to emulate an audience so that the information does not offend the sensibilities of different : ages, genders ,orientations and others. I believe that the way this is set is to ensure that there is little to no backlash on both the regulations and the creator [ point from future me : Logan Paul he has now mass broadcasted footage of him laughing at a victim of suicide in the suicide forest of japan] Regulation takes place so that the more vulnerable are not exposed to something their age shouldn’t be. I think that it should exist in this extent however the net neutrality repeal in America shows that regulation in certain content should not be allowed just to create profit. The plan was to create a system in which the service providers decided what content you could get or get charged for.
