Regulation and Governance of the Internet

Chapter: Regulation and Governance of the Internet

Quote:

A strong moral case can be made for regulating the content of the Internet, but there is also a strong case that such regulation cannot be very effective and comes at a price in Internet performance. These last two factors together constitute an argument of considerable weight against attempting to control Internet content through legislation. So what should be done? On balance, a case can be made for content regulation, although that case is probably not as strong as proponents would wish. That the case can be made can be seen by looking a little more closely at the two opposing factors just mentioned. First, while in general laws that are not enforceable to any great extent are to be avoided, in certain instances they can be useful. Consider illicit drugs, for example.

What I expect to learn:

To recognize the regulation and governance of the internet

Review:                    

Same as to different things, processes and organizations, internet must have their regulations and must be governed by one only. Without all with regulations, commotion in cyber space will occur. Humans follow different regulations and guidelines all their life, since the egg cell and sperm cell formed a zygote in our mother’s womb. Even from our fore-fathers and in their great, great grandfathers regulations already exists. And if that’s the case, there’s is no way that we can eliminate them when it comes to advance technologies such as internet. These regulations are set to ensure that the primary consumer of such services, products and innovation would not be violated or harmed and would just receive the best of what is offered to them. Regulation and governance can be monitored by different agencies concerning that certain industry.

What I learned:

·         Content regulation

·         Effective regulation

·         Regulation: Technical Issues

·         The current situation

·         Across borders

·         INTERNET REGULATION: NORMATIVE ISSUES

·         Censorship

·         REGULATION OF THE INTERNET: MORAL ARGUMENTS

·         REGULATION AND EFFICIENCY

·         REGULATION ACROSS LEGAL JURISDICTIONS

Integrative Questions:            

1.    What is content regulation?

2.    Is content regulation necessary? Why?

3.    What are the technical issues surrounding effective regulation of content?

4.    Define censorship.

5.    What are the mentioned normative issues in internet regulation?
