Providing essential critical perspective, Codifying Cyberspace
presents a thorough exploration of the issues involved in
self-regulation of the internet. Following recent European
directives - including the 2007 Audiovisual Media Services
Directive - self-regulation is being promoted as the means for
regulating the range of 'harms' and conflicts associated with the
new media, from gambling to pornography, but does it really work?
Presenting the results of a three year Oxford University study
funded by the European Commission, Codifying Cyberspace looks at
self-regulation in practice, in a variety of countries across
Europe, North America and elsewhere, getting beyond the normal
discussions of codes to analyze their implications for fundamental
rights of freedom of expression, and their position in particular
political and cultural contexts. It also examines the problems of
balancing private censorship against fundamental rights to freedom
of expression and privacy for media users.
This book is the first full-scale study of self-regulation and
codes of conduct in these fast-moving new media sectors and will be
an indispensable guide to all those with a general interest in
media policy and regulation at a time where regulation is being
replaced with industry and user level self-regulation.
