Cyberspace transcends geographic borders, undermining the effectiveness of laws based on territorial boundaries.
Traditional legal authority struggles to regulate online behavior, as online actions are detached from physical locations.
Efforts to impose local laws on global online activities are impractical, particularly for countries involved in global commerce.
Jurisdictional challenges arise because it’s unclear which laws govern activities in cyberspace, leading to proposals to treat Cyberspace as a separate “place” for legal analysis.
Self-regulation in Cyberspace was originally favored, but the rise of Big Tech has shifted the focus towards government regulation of these companies, rather than regulating the internet itself.
Online rule-making should prioritize understanding the unique nature of cyberspace and avoid excessive interference by local governments, unless it concerns localized vital interests.
