The Internet began in 1969 and was called ARPANET (Georgios I. Zekos, 2002). It's home was US and it was a small scientific project which grew into what became later known as World Wide Web, which allowed various types of information to be send over the Internet. Slowly at first, nonetheless at extraordinary rates afterwards the amount of users started to grow and nowadays Internet has become known as international highway of information.

In other words, cyberspace may as well be considered as a single intangible entity, therefore general rules set on cyberspace would be applied to all internet users not taking into account the place of residence. However, the fact that internet has no owner or so called controlling body which can apply rules which would be accepted by all means that regulations must be imposed by various specific parties. On the other hand, this means that individuals can impose their own desired restrictions or rules. Despite that, the cyberspace still lacks
The internet is relatively new creation compared to the old technologies such as radio, television or telegraphs, as such, the old models of regulation were mostly ineffective and new models had to be envisioned. Despite that, there are already various different models of cyberspace regulation which are used nowadays, such as different legal rules, social norms private/public institutions as well as different strategies …show more content…

For example, passwords is one of the main way of blocking or limiting information on the internet or monitoring devices that all actions made by specific device. What is more, protocols as TCP/IP as well as cookies makes roaming the internet activities traceable. This in return, decreases the amount of illegal activities and information transmitted online. What is more, code can be designed to privatize intellectual property, which can be frequently seen nowadays as copyright laws. To put it more simply, it allows to take down information which violates Digital Millennium Copyright Act 1998 (DMCA) (USA). As copyright infringement is one of the most serious and common problems over the cyberspace, industry started to develop code on its own behalf and it was said by Richard Spinello (2000), that computer code can have a bigger effect and force than legal system and laws. As a specific example, YouTube faces copyright infringement everyday, therefore it has it's own Digital Rights Management (a program designed to prohibit copying or uploading copyrighted material by imposing technological

In Network Neutrality Nuances, David Farber makes a contrasting counterpoint to Barbara van Schewick’s piece of net neutrality protecting us from abuse from our ISPs. Farber states that because the internet has always regulated itself over the course of its nature and is continuing to grow increasingly with no issues, we should continue to let the internet self-regulate. Thus David Farber is suggesting that the government and legislators take a reactive stance on the internet because over the course of the internet’s history it has shown to be growing exponentially. Farber continues to analyze the history of net neutrality and comes to the conclusion that any legislation that attempts to manage the internet will fail due to the incompetence of legislations regarding the internet as demonstrated by history. Farber attempts to inductively explain the pretense behind the legislations against net neutrality; however some of his examples ultimately fail to support his conclusion due to his very apparent position against legislators

He emphasizes a crucial example that supports his claim, in which the Telecommunications Act in 1996 hurt numerous companies by the loss of money. In addition the FCC also is not a formidable party that are capable of making careful decision that will not hurt Internet service providers, “The FCC has a minimum amount of technical knowledge about the Internet and thus even when it acts, often misses the mark and can end up in lengthy court actions that an innovative new company cannot survive” (Farber, 2009). He’s concerned that the decisions regarding the Internet will be legislative. Essentially, David Farber’s point is that groups such as the FCC or the Congress who are not completely involved in the changes and events that occur to the Internet should not be able to make major decisions concerning the Internet; the past proves the potential
