Gatekeeping is something that I can truly say that I have little information on what it really is and what it does. Listening to this presentation I feel that my knowledge on gatekeeping has grown. Gatekeeping is the product of letting certain types of media through the gate. We see this with some website online that have locks on certain things and on others you a free to read and research on the website.After today's presentations i learned that internet gatekeeping refers to the act of controlling or limiting access to information on the internet. This can be done by individuals, groups, or organizations, and can take many forms, such as blocking certain websites, censoring content, or manipulating search results. Gatekeeping can be used to protect against the spread of harmful or illegal content, but it can also be used to suppress information and limit freedom of expression.
