Virtual Self Study – The Internet Needs to be Regulated

$1.00

Governments are clamouring for influence, and as broadband use expands it is likely that state agencies will play a more influential role in deciding what web users can access. Whilst government censorship in countries such as China has been criticised in the Western press, many other countries have also banned certain website content.

Description

The fact that the internet is not controlled by any single authority means that global regulation of the internet is both complex and evolving. Captured in Lawrence Lessig’s now-famous dictum ‘code is law’ regulation of the web is different to that of other media, with developments in technology dictating the way in which the internet is policed as much as legislation.
