Format

Description
Proposed by SME
The session can be a debate format: Among the Internet community, some are of the opinion that government actions and regulation usually hamper our internet rights and the fundamental principles of the Internet such as interoperability and openness. Some others believe that efforts such as data localization, legitimation of third-party platform content regulation and even surveillance and protectionism serve our rights and are here to protect us. And there are those who believe that there can be a genuine balance: good regulations that can enhance our Internet rights while respecting the Internet longstanding principles. We will be debating these issues during this session to provide a landscape of opinions about how government regulations positively or negatively affect our rights.
Proposed by FP
Internet developed without states interference. It’s grows and success was achieved because of lack of government involvements. Any states and inter-governmental organizations failed to create any comparable network. Now Internet became significant part of our life. Some countries recognize Internet as the fundamental right. Some other countries and regimes recognize Internet as the major threat. In this session we will start from history of government involvements to the Internet, discuss current laws and state activities. Then we proceed to discussion about impacts of current and proposed regulations. Should governments be allowed to regulate internet, or should we apply current governance of the Internet to our governments. Is any dialog possible with governments?
