Out of the three articles I read, I enjoyed the technology section. The news article was titled Russia Selectively Blocking Internet. The article was about Russia's communication regulators have required Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to remove material that the officials determined was objectionable. The thing that struck me the most about this article was that it benefits things that are wrong in todays society. It's trying to ban the negativity that is going on in todays social media and the internet. One of the things that caught my eyes while reading this article was that it said "The supporters of this law, which took place in November, say that it is a a narrowly focused way of controlling child pornography and content that promotes drug use and suicide." The thing that is most valuable to me is that the communication regulators are trying to control the content that promotes drug use and suicide. This is the most valuable to me because I know people who are addicted to drugs and are seeking help for it and I also know people who have committed suicide. Those are both terrible and tragical things that can happen to humans and I agree with what they are doing.
