Web Article #1 post

This article gives lots of information in to the world of fake websites. It gives a description of the various types of websites ranging from malious to hacks. These web sites can be anything from just presenting false information to sites that try to persuade you to their bias views. These websites have included sites that attack the validity of Martin Luther King Jr. and that try and convince people that Europeans were the orginal settlers of North America and not Indians. These sites can be harmless but can also convince people in to beliefs that could be essentially very harmful. It can be very difficult sometimes to check the validity of these websites. Some of the easiest ways to tell if the site is legitament or not is by checking who registered the site. This can be a good indicaption as to who is operating the site and if they are representing true information or their own biased views.
This article helped me to learn ways to spot how a website might be false. It helped me to learn that many sites present false and bias information. It kind of makes me upset that so many sites are able to present this kind of information. The internet has given people to basically say and do anything on it that they want. So if someone wants to make a website about how great white power is or about how our government is responsible for the events of 9/11 they can. This of course is part of freedom of speech but it can be very dangerous. These webpages should have some kind of censor for validity. They should be allowed to share their option but they should not be allowed to present false informantion as fact. This direct deception should not be allowed on the World Wide Web. The government should try and censor it the same way that they try and censor dangerous websites that allow people to view how to make pipe bombs and items of that nature.
