AE2-A Writing Class
SHOTA WATANABE
Psiphon tool

In the article “Web censorship ‘bypass’ unveiled,” by BBC news, the author states that Psiphon, which is free software by Citizen, can go through the other computer and see the website or can download for some information. If you use this software, you can delete the events from your known log; your computer is protected from some foreign enemy who wants to see your log, which is where you see websites through proxy servers. However, some countries, such as Syria China and Vietnam, prohibit these countries people from seeing some websites. But if they use this software, they can see it and protect their computer from their countries. Then the countries will make stronger security for illegal users. On the other hand, the creator who made it has the opinion that we should remake the Internet and the Internet should have unlimited access. I will write that it depends on the whether using Psiphon tool a beneficial things or just bad things.

My first supporting point is the we should protect our computers ourselves. If you want to use a computer and the Internet, you need to protect yourself, because the Internet has a lot of danger and no one can help you. You need know how to protect your computer. This software is one of the protection tools. If you use this software, you can protect it so that many people cannot know your log. I think we need to protect ourselves, so I agree that many people should use this software.

Second opinion is releted to how they take crime and if they take crime, and why they are getting crime. This software is a very convenient tool. But some countries have prohibition of websites, so their countries people cannot see it. However, if they use this software, they might not be caught because they use Psiphon and other people do not know what website they went to. Then if many people abuse them, other counties people will think this software is a bad tool. I think this tool is a good tool, but we must not abuse it.

Third opinion is about what the Internet is and how it does when it does. This software’s creator said the Internet should have freedom. I agree with him. The Internet is an unlimited world that all people can see. But now is different. If the Internet is free, the Internet is more convenient. We should make it better and think about how to use the Internet.

In conclusion, Psiphon software is sometimes good or bad, because if they think of bad ideas, this software will change to a bad tool. But if they think of good ideas, this software can change into a good tool. If they think of good idea and use this software, this tool gives a lot of profit and relief, I think.
