Creating and using law to protect a prosperous market of ideas is at least an ideal of constitutional protection of freedom of expression. However, as a practical problem, there are many unsatisfactory aspects in the concept market in real life. Apart from other aspects, the uneven distribution of wealth alone is likely to destroy this ideal. This is because, first of all, economic capacity will limit the ability of ordinary people's voice to reach the audience. Due to economic reasons, it will be difficult for some valuable remarks to enter the concept market. On the contrary, those who have huge financial resources or can access or use the media in various ways occupy more expression resources. For most people, the high cost of using media will deter them. The direct result of this situation is that in modern society, influential expression has increasingly become the privilege of the economic superpowers, including powerful corporate entities, individuals and countries with the most powerful resources.
Secondly, when the rich control newspapers and television, the media tend to become the spokesman of the rich, rather than the public or the whole society. The endless pursuit of profits will also enable media groups to adopt elusive and deliberate business strategies. They will deliberately tailor the reported content in different ways and to different degrees. With the acceleration of the merger process of media enterprises, the potential distortion of the concept market will become more likely and more insidious. For the same reason, commercial mass media will often reduce the content that reflects the views and tastes of the poor. Finally, on the basis of the above distortion of the concept market caused by the disparity between the rich and the poor, something like this will happen: the commercial media and the assertions of critics routinely produce insipid and plain expressions, and try every way to stimulate the audience's desire to buy and attract audiences across regions without excessively offending any current situation Readers or listeners. Even in a competitive media market, the increasingly concentrated media will tend to protect the business interests of the company and reflect the values and cultures of the dominant social and ethnic groups as an example at the expense of the interests of the marginalized minority areas and the poor. In this case. It is impossible for mainstream media to provide adequate expression opportunities and speech markets for the interests and concerns of minority people. Many citizens have also been excluded from the door of meaningful public discussion.
However, the Internet promises to remove the structural and economic barriers to participate in meaningful public discussions, making public discussions more democratic and richer, less manipulated by powerful speakers, and more lively and nuanced. The Internet has reason to believe that the concept market is no longer just an empty desire in the Internet era. The basis for the Internet's commitment to changing the nature of public discussion is the powerful technical means it uses. From the perspective of communication, the advantages of the Internet in terms of the quality and speed of information transmission need not be mentioned. The Internet also covers all forms of expression of the past mass media, and at the same time has the functions and advantages that other traditional media cannot have: the digital, non-linear hypertext communication form is simple to operate, easy to store, copy, and retrieve, and hyperlinks have also opened up new ways for information jumping, information selection, and information connection, making it difficult for the audience to read, listen, and watch, It is just a closed process, and people can even freely choose the form of expression of the media according to their own needs and interests. The information that is all inclusive on the Internet and freely flows around the world provides people with greater possibilities for information sharing, information selection, equal participation and peaceful exchange. From this perspective, the Internet makes "the freedom to seek, receive and transmit all kinds of information and ideas regardless of national boundaries" stipulated in international human rights conventions no longer a utopian dream.
While allowing more participants to participate in public discussions and debates, the Internet has also greatly increased the transparency of the entire socio-economic and political life. As early as 1994, namely the Internet, Website Design When the development of the US presidential election was just on the right track, the US presidential election began to transmit a large amount of information about candidates of political parties to ordinary voters through computers connected to public libraries. Voters can also browse photos of candidates and dozens of pages of information about these candidates and their positions. Now, it is common for many elected officials to communicate with their voters through e-mail and BBS services on the Internet. Nowadays, online government is becoming an anachronism. "In the case of economic inequality, perhaps technological progress can make the goal of political equality more realistic.".
