"Following the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11th,where the Al-queda acquired bombmaking and terrorist Knowledge over internet,many lawmakers have proposed that an inernational body regulate the internet so that which provide information to terrorists could be eliminated" ,I completely agree with the lawmakers proposal and and shall present an argument favoring the lawmakers.
The Internet may be viewed as a vast digital library. The World Wide Web alone offers about a billion pages of information, much of it free "and much of it of interest to terrorist organizations. Terrorists, for instance, can learn from the Internet a wide variety of details about targets such as transportation facilities, nuclear power plants, public buildings, airports, and ports, and even about counterterrorism measures.They use the Internet to collect intelligence on those targets, especially critical economic nodes, and modern software enables them to study structural weaknesses in facilities as well as predict the cascading failure effect of attacking certain systems.
Like many other Internet users, terrorists have access not only to maps and diagrams of potential targets but also to imaging data on those same facilities and networks that may reveal counterterrorist activities at a target site.
Bombmaking information is literally at the fingertips of anyone with access to a home computer equipped with an internet connection.Much of the information available in print pertaining to nuclear weapons also can be found on the Internet.
