Regulation of cyber – A space or a medium?
Lawrence Liang , Alternative Law Forum
This paper examines the philosophical basis for a claim to regulate cyberspace rather than looking at specific loopholes in existing laws and the proposed legislations which deal with cyberspace. The author critically assesses the claim that cyberspace has to be regulated and the particular mode of regulation that is envisaged. According to him, cyberspace may be one of the last surviving commons which has evaded strict regulation. The issue at hand is whether the Internet is simply a technological medium or a technological space.
