REGULATE THE INTERNET!
[SOURCE: American Chronicle, AUTHOR: Sam Vaknin]
[Commentary] With the advent of Web 2.0 and user-generated content, the Internet has completed its transformation into a mass medium and like all media it must be regulated. The laws that apply offline must and, in due time, as legislators are exposed to the less savory aspects of the Web, will apply online. What kind of regulation is Vaknin talking about? 1) Slander, Libel, and Defamation vs. Free Speech. 2) Privacy. 3) Copyright and Intellectual Property. 4) Anonymity. 5) Licensing and Anti-trust. 6) Truth in Advertising and Misrepresentations.
