The Fight Against Censorship: People's Communication Charter

The People's Communication Charter is the initiative of the Third World Network (Malaysia, Penang) and the Center for Communication and Human Rights (Netherlands, Amsterdam). The basic idea of ​​this initiative is that people around the world are censored unevenly, distorted misleading information, images of stereotypes of gender and ethnicity, restrictions on access to knowledge, and incompetence It means that you will face enough paths. The reality of our communication environment reduces the ability of regular men and women to control decisions about their lives.

The most important point for Internet censorship is to infringe freedom of speech and human rights. The Internet is an important communication tool that provides a platform for freedom of expression to people around the world. Regardless of the degree of social acceptance, it should be a place where people can express their opinion and position. However, reviewing Internet censors filters some of the freedom of speech, and even eliminates them. This measure interferes with the free flow of information. People's freedom of speech, freedom of communication, and the right to know are infringed. This violates the spirit of democracy. This measure is harmful for websites that express specific ideas and opinions. This is a barrier to the development of the Internet.

Media censors prohibit people from viewing content that other people can access online. The government forces it and punishes those opposed to them. The censorship system imposed on the people of the country removes the freedom of speech they had ever thought. It has a big influence on those who want to hear their voice. - Media censorship has been refused by the right community for a long time, so it is not uncommon phenomenon in the world. It originated from ancient rulers and religious leaders who imposed restrictions on the press to prevent disseminating information that they might oppose and the activities they carried out. Regardless of geographical location, religion, culture, tradition, the motivation for review will not change.

Review example: Chittagong Hill Tract does not allow mobile networks to cover the rebellion. Armed groups and gangsters were used to communicate with each other and with the general public. Social media such as Syria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Facebook, Tweeter, YouTube etc in many Muslim countries are also being reviewed for contempt for protest against their beloved prophets. Those under the age of 18 can not view or access certain adult Web sites or Web pages / books. This is a hot topic recently in China. Some bloggers insult our beloved prophet through the blog. To prevent infringement among people, the Bangladesh government has stopped some blogs.
