Internet nowadays has made life much easier. In single click of a mouse, we can perform many businesses or helping us to settle our task in everyday life. Besides, internet nowadays seems very important for us to search and information and current issues as we don’t have to waste time, money and energy to buy newspaper or magazine at the store.
We admitted that blog is one of the popular sources nowadays among the users of the internet as the alternative sources of information in a different point of view. People nowadays are free to write on what they think and they feel towards an issue or maybe a thing that happened in their daily life. Some parties may use the blog to persuade and gaining a trust and believe towards their parties or some people gaining their profit only through blogs.
However, what is more worrying is the misuse of the blogs by some people may question the credibility of the source and the content of the blog itself. Nowadays, it has been used as the channel to incite some other people and bring a negative perception towards another party or using it to spread their negative ideology.
For example, the case of Raja Petra Kamaruddin had been arrested for his statement which is insulting Yang Dipertuan Agong, criticize on Islam’s practices and also his sedition statement on extremism doing of local ethnic. These wrong doing perhaps will threaten the safety of the country thus influenced public to do extremism and violence action.
The use of weblog supposed to be educating, informating and entertaining but what had happens now, the blog has become a placed for negative emotional expression which could harmed the relationship among the public and portraying misbehave of certain people which used the blog to pull out their anger into a blog.
For my opinion, the misuse of the blog should be stopped among the users as it doesn’t bring any benefit to us and also to the public especially to the new generations as we can’t avoid the used of internet and technology in everyday life.
In my point of view, the users of blog should be center in attention. It makes us feel good about ourselves to tell the world what important things we have been doing and what profound thoughts that we have been having. The users also may be able to use the blog as channel to eliminate the frustration, but the comment, opinion and complained should be expressed in a good manner and not using such abusive words.
Moreover, the government should monitor more on the use of blog and might need to filter or restrict some blog which have negative and abusive content. In a conclusion, we should together have self-censorship and control ourselves in order to create a better blog environment as a source of credible media.
