Issues concerning of new trends:-

According to Loewenstein (2008), some countries see media publishing as place where people express their opinion on specific issue while some even banned media publishing due to reason such as corruption or threat. Freedom of speech is different based on different cultural background, political issue, and country regimes and rules & regulations.

Take country such as China as an example, they took media publishing as a place to express their concern on some issues that involved the society benefits rather than using it to critised on political issue. However, for country like Cuba, media publishing are strictly monitored and disallowed any form of corruption or misleading thought.

Even so, there is other countries that do not see media publishing as a threat nor place to express their concern but solely just to enhance their knowledge and country development.

Every media publishing tools have a set of policy to be follow to protect the rights of the reader and writer. For example, Facebook disallowed any posting in the form of violence, sexual, offensive and etc as it have to protect the readers and maintaining reputation as a  healthy social networking tools. Still so, Facebook are banned from China as restrictions vary in different matters. It was restricted as China finds Facebook a media that could spread and exposed unhealthy issues.
