Century Link Scholarship- In the age of anonymous Internet bullying, the Web has been criticized for its lack of restrictions and its “anything goes” atmosphere, but at the same time, many argue that this unrestrictive atmosphere makes the Internet a wealth of honest and valuable information.
In 500–600 words, write an assay answering this question: What (if anything) would you change about current Internet safety laws? Should anonymity be continued to be allowed online? Your answer must include credible research.
