'Is private regulation of the Internet over? Have states taken
over?' This book examines the function of self-regulation in
cyberspace. It argues that contrary to what is often supposed in
the literature, self-regulation is still an indispensable part of
regulation of the Internet and will arguably remain so. It is
intricately woven into the mesh of rules that governs the Internet
today. Private regulation fills substantive or procedural gaps
where no state regulation exists or where it is incomplete or
ineffective, thus complementing the reach of state regulation.
Simultaneously, states supply legal (and financial) frameworks that
enable or complement self-regulation. In practice, often unknown to
users, their behaviour is regulated by intertwined rules coming
from both states and private groups. While each source of rules
retains its identity and regulatory strengths, it is dependent on
and complementary to the rules and processes of the other to
effectively regulate Internet activities. Dr. Jeanne P. Mifsud
Bonnici is a Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Law, Information and
Converging Technologies, University of Central Lancashire, Preston,
UK. This is Volume 16 in the Information Technology and Law
(IT&Law) Series
