The Internet brings opportunity and peril for media freedom
and freedom of expression. It enables new forms of publication and extends the
reach of traditional publishers, but its power increases the potential damage
of harmful speech and invites state regulation and censorship as well as
manipulation by private and commercial interests. In jurisdictions around the
world, courts, lawmakers and regulators grapple with these contradictions and
challenges in different ways with different goals in mind. The media law
reforms they are adopting or considering contain crucial lessons for those
forming their own responses or who seek to understand how technology is driving
such rapid change in how information and opinion are distributed or restricted.
In this book, many of the world's leading authorities examine the emerging
landscape of reform in nations with variable political and legal contexts. They
analyse developments particularly through the prisms of defamation and media
regulation, but also explore the impact of technology on privacy law and
national security. Whether as jurists, lawmakers, legal practitioners or
scholars, they are at the front lines of a story of epic change in how and why
the Internet is changing the nature and raising the stakes of 21st century
communication and expression.
