The ideology of human rights protection has gained considerable
momentum during the second half of the twentieth century at both
national and international level and appears to be an effective
lever for bringing about legal change. This book analyzes this
strategy in economic and commercial policy and considers the
transportation of the 'public law' discourse of basic human rights
protection into the 'commercial law' context of economic policy,
business activity and corporate behaviour. The volume will prove
indispensable for anyone interested in human rights, international
law, and business and commercial law.
The fifth edition of Information Technology Law continues to be
dedicated to a detailed analysis of and commentary on the latest
developments within this burgeoning field of law. It provides an
essential read for all those interested in the interface between
law and technology and the effect of new technological developments
on the law. The contents have been restructured and the reordering
of the chapters provides a coherent flow to the subject matter.
Criminal law issues are now dealt with in two separate chapters to
enable a more focused approach to content crime. The new edition
contains both a significant amount of incremental change as well as
substantial new material and, where possible, case studies have
been used to illustrate significant issues. In particular, new
additions include: * Social media and the criminal law; * The
impact of the decision in Google Spain and the 'right to be
forgotten'; * The Schrems case and the demise of the Safe Harbour
agreement; * The judicial reassessment of the proportionality of
ICT surveillance powers within the UK and EU post the Madrid
bombings; * The expansion of the ICANN gTLDs and the redesigned
domain name registration and dispute resolution processes.

This collection investigates the sharpening conflict between the
nation state and the internet through a multidisciplinary lens. It
challenges the idea of an inherently global internet by examining
its increasing territorial fragmentation and, conversely, the
notion that for states online law and order is business as usual.
Cyberborders based on national law are not just erected around
China's online community. Cultural, political and economic forces,
as reflected in national or regional norms, have also incentivised
virtual borders in the West. The nation state is asserting itself.
Yet, there are also signs of the receding role of the state in
favour of corporations wielding influence through de-facto control
over content and technology. This volume contributes to the online
governance debate by joining ideas from law, politics and human
geography to explore internet jurisdiction and its overlap with
topics such as freedom of expression, free trade, democracy,
identity and cartographic maps.
The most fascinating and profitable subject of predictive
algorithms is the human actor. Analysing big data through learning
algorithms to predict and pre-empt individual decisions gives a
powerful tool to corporations, political parties and the state.
Algorithmic analysis of digital footprints, as an omnipresent form
of surveillance, has already been used in diverse contexts:
behavioural advertising, personalised pricing, political
micro-targeting, precision medicine, and predictive policing and
prison sentencing. This volume brings together experts to offer
philosophical, sociological, and legal perspectives on these
personalised data practices. It explores common themes such as
choice, personal autonomy, equality, privacy, and corporate and
governmental efficiency against the normative frameworks of the
market, democracy and the rule of law. By offering these insights,
this collection on data-driven personalisation seeks to stimulate
an interdisciplinary debate on one of the most pervasive,
transformative, and insidious socio-technical developments of our
time.

Which state has and should have the right and power to regulate
sites and online events? Who can apply their defamation or contract
law, obscenity standards, gambling or banking regulation,
pharmaceutical licensing requirements or hate speech prohibitions
to any particular Internet activity? Traditionally, transnational
activity has been 'shared out' between national sovereigns with the
aid of location-centric rules which can be adjusted to the
transnational Internet. But can these allocation rules be stretched
indefinitely, and what are the costs for online actors and for
states themselves of squeezing global online activity into
nation-state law? Does the future of online regulation lie in
global legal harmonisation or is it a cyberspace that increasingly
mirrors the national borders of the offline world? This 2007 book
offers some uncomfortable insights into one of the most important
debates on Internet governance.
