The internet plays an important role in the contemporary world and, consequently, activities taking place online are becoming increasingly regulated. Online expression is no exception in this respect. While the need for regulation seems well recognized today, opinions differ on the question of what the scope of regulation should be and what means are appropriate for achieving regulatory goals. This book examines the challenges facing regulators, taking into account specific features of the global network. It focuses both on the probability of success or failure of various regulatory measures and on the consequences the regulation may have for freedom of expression. The text takes into account materials available at the end of January 2006.
