Is the future architecture of free speech on the Internet lays in balance?
Read below to get an answerCyber Law, a newly coined term if we compare with the other laws around. There are various ways in which we can apply these. I am saying ways because it is difficult to find out when the law is broken and when to act upon it.
There are filters in place that control how you use the internet and many people are not aware that they are there. The filters that enforce Cyber Law regulations may not be regulated by any specific law that is written in stone, but the assumption of covering laws on the books in many States is good enough reasons for the filters to be authorized.
Some of the statutes in place in many States are transferred over to cover the vast realm of networked computers across the country that make up the Internet. It is safe to assume that any action performed on the Internet that breaks the laws of a State would deserve to be filtered and some people would be grateful for the barrier of protection that the filter provides. The filters that enforce Cyber Law regulations would certainly focus around child pornography.
Some of these filters that enforce Cyber Law regulations might record the routes that people take to meet with other Cyber predators in any online environment. The filters could provide a direct route that law enforcement officers can follow to find all perpetrators involved with any illegal activity online. Privacy is not assured on the internet and these filters ensure that privacies are violated in the right manner.
Since gambling is illegal in the United States, there are filters that enforce Cyber Law that points to people who choose to work their way around the maze of the Internet to enjoy gambling online. These filters can track how gambling sites in other countries allow gamblers in the United States to transfer funds through their sites. The filters may identify which gamblers are underage, or simply the fact that the person is gambling in the United States illegally.
Whenever jurisdictions overlap, the responsibility for installing filters that enforce Cyber Law regulations may fall on several Governments. The local government may lightly filter Internet activities because they are ill equipped for such tasks. The Federal Government, on the other hand, has a multitude of equipment and money at its disposal to use filters and the information gained from those filters to file charges.
The Federal Government would then justify the use of filters that enforce Cyber Law on Federal Laws that are centered on prosecuting illegal events simply because the activities occurred across state lines. Some agencies have made landmark decisions in court by rulings that say a money transfer for illegal activities is a crime because the money paying networks were located in several States. The Federal Government can prosecute because they have a legal leg to stand on since money crossed state lines in the commission of a crime.
To conclude I would just like to add, the creation of an international rating and filtering system for Internet content has been proposed as an alternative to national legislation regulating online speech. Contrary to their original intent, such systems may actually facilitate governmental restrictions on Internet expression. Additionally, rating and filtering schemes may prevent individuals from discussing controversial or unpopular topics, impose burdensome compliance costs on speakers, distort the fundamental cultural diversity of the Internet, enable invisible “upstream” filtering, and eventually create a homogenized Internet dominated by large commercial interests.
