Why Do Real World Laws Be Required To Regulate Such Activities?

A person up to date in today's society must acknowledge the importance and the parcticality of the internet. Just as in other areas of society, personal freedoms are stretched to the very limit on this modern invention, raising isuues in regards to what type of information the internet should be allowed to broadcast. Since its inception, the internet has spawned overnight millionaires, served as the new information medium, and even played host to some heinous crimes. The topic of greatest concern though, is in how the people legislate the division between what is obscence and what is allowable. The way that these issues are dealt with will shape the very form in which the internet and other

The issues raised by Bennett illustrate that the Internet is still in its infancy in terms of how it is best-integrated into society and regulated by the same ethical, social, and legal principles as traditional forms of communications. It is likely that the solution lies, not in the evolution of regulations or in limitations on free speech; rather, the solution is likely to evolve naturally as subsequent generations develop a better and more nearly comprehensive understanding of how to integrate their offline and online identities in ways that maintain their privacy. Meanwhile, the deeper explanation of the contemporary digital communications

Today, society is affected by the many advances in technology. These advances affect almost every person in the world. One of the prevalent advances in technology was the invention and mass use of the Internet. Today more than ever, people around the world use the Internet to support their personal and business tasks on a daily basis. The Internet is a portal into vast amounts of information concerning almost every aspect of life including education, business, politics, entertainment, social networking, and world security. (idebate.com) Although the Internet has become a key resource in developing the world, the mass use of Internet has highlighted a major problem, privacy and the protection of individual, corporate, and even government

The Internet has incurred a tremendous amount of growth and opportunity for the country as well as the world; elevating communication, information, and commerce to a new level. With all this unprecedented innovation, the Internet has also brought controversy that challenges the very foundation of rights that countries like the United States were founded on. With countless websites containing unregulated and objectively offensive content, and the public having an ease of access to this content will result in severe damages to the development of the youth if no censorship is put in place for them to view this content. Additionally, markets are being exploited by piracy which has resulted in billions of dollars being lost by the domestic economy

Explores the possibilities between two possible outcomes in a world where our reliance technology in our daily life has increased from “nice to have” or convenient to “cannot live without.” Scenario one explores, society embracing networking on a global scale and increasing interoperability in a world that relies heavily on virtual reality or “augmented reality (Mittlemen 44.)” Scenario two explores, world governments shutting themselves off from one another digitally and restricting usage to within its own sovereign territory through slowing down the network, increasing advertisements, selling your personal information that is posted online without your permission.

David Johnson and David Post argue that “Cyberspace requires a system of rules quite distinct from the laws that regulate physical, geographically-defined territories” (David Johnson, 1996) Cyberspace has no defined boundaries and due to the rapid speed of data transportation over the internet, there are no physical boundaries at

At the beginning of the second millennium, an era of information society, based on the increasing use of computers, computer technology, information technology, making available "everything to everyone, everywhere and always" very urgent problem of improving the legislation in the fight against various kinds of offenses in this area, and first of all crimes. Currently, computer crime, has acquired an international dimension, is already receiving an adequate assessment of the international community, in particular, is reflected in a special Convention on Cybercrime, signed in 2001 in Budapest, representatives of 30 countries, members of the Council of Europe. The scale of a virtual crime using the internet in the US can be seen from the following

The increasing use of personal information in web-based applications has created privacy concerns worldwide. This has led to awareness among policy makers in several countries regarding the desirability of harmonizing privacy laws. The challenge with privacy legislation from an international perspective is that the Internet is virtually borderless but legislative approaches differ between countries.

As technology advances, law’s and discretion seem to lag behind how to interpret the rules for these technologies. In the past ten years, the way people spend daily life has changed tremendously. Everywhere we go we see some form of computer in almost every type of form. From communication, cooking, medicine, transportation, work, entertainment, advertising, computer’s are used to as a simpler means of doing something. The world is more connected than ever. The Internet is used to connect people from polar sides of the world to each other. People are allowed to perceive the world from all ends, and access information more easily. Although the internet seems almost essential for people living in a first world country for work or school, the

Over the past decade the world has gotten much smaller due to the electronic communication the Internet has fostered. While this promotes business and international relations, problems arise regarding the protection of individuals’ personal information. Many countries around the world have developed privacy policies and laws protect an individual's information in the realm of electronic communication. Universal enforcement gets complicated because the Internet is not restricted to one country; it’s worldwide. As a result, concerns arise regarding the compatibility of various countries' privacy policies. This paper will discuss the current legislation in place for various major

As the world has come into the 21st century, there is one prominent and constant fact - everyone is on the internet. Whether willingly or not, information like house addresses, social security numbers, and credit card numbers can be put out and obtained through the internet. It is unusual for a business, even an individual person, to not have a website. Knowing the types of threats that are out there is the first step to implementing protection measures. While there are many types of well-known threats in existence, there are even more types of common, yet less well-known threats out there.

As a professional Internet publisher and avid user of the Internet, I have become concerned with laws like the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (CDA) that censor free speech on the Internet. By approving the CDA, Congress has established a precedent which condones censorship regulations for the Internet similar to those that exist for traditional broadcast media. Treating the Internet like broadcast media is a grave mistake because the Internet is unlike any information medium that has been created.

Physical borders and boundaries do not define cyberspace, which makes it a complete contradiction to the apparent lines separating States, and the jurisdiction of the courts. The internet is an array of network capabilities that allow computers around the globe to share and distribute electronic data. The internet also continues to be the driving force for new forms of communication and contact between people who remain separated by state and even national boundaries. As the Internet becomes more interactive, the complexity of an individual’s legal rights becomes critical by examining the interaction of the law and emerging technology.

Promotions from government are essential to the Internet industry. From 21 century, the USA government started high investment to the national infrastructures and this leads to the boom of the development of Internet industry over the world. This stimulates the number of personal computers and connection with networks globally. More and more people around the world today have opportunities to shopping on the internet and spend hours of their daily time on it. The construction of network and increasing transportation between countries means that a consumer from UK could choose purchase goods from an American online retailer. The telecom liberalization promotes faster and better access for national users to websites in other countries. And with the spread of the construction of Internet, more and more consumers from developing countries have
