International Internet regulation: a multinational approach

Article Abstract:

International Internet regulations should be established that meet the needs of different countries. All governments agree that intolerable information should be prohibited from the Internet, but governments differ on the definition of intolerable. China may want to suppress contact with the west, Germany may wish to preclude pro-Nazi propaganda, the US may wish to prevent indecent material, and Singapore may hold Internet Service Providers responsible for offensive conduct. A multinational agreement should establish flexible standards that could be used by all nations according to need.
