Internet is an amazing wonder itself, not only that it is free (all free stuffs are good), it is not owned by anyone, everyone has the right to use it. The problem is that, since its free, who should take care of it? Rather, who could take care of it?
This opened to a new era of criminals, where they can hide and do whatever they want in the cyberspace, since it is not 'regulated'. Based on the well-known "Declaration of Independence for Cyberspace", these criminals are almost untouchable. No governments have sovereign over them.
Hence, codes and laws are created to regulate the unregulated Internet. But to what extend could they cover up in the borderless cyberspace? For instance, China has implemented a system that blocks away pornography from being accessible to their citizen. But, that’s it. Only in China. If some citizen of the republic were to go outside of the border, outside the sovereignty of China, they could easily access pornography again.
So these codes and laws, which have been or would be created to govern the Internet, should be done collectively, enforced by all with equal justice. Then only we could defy those who are using the Internet freely. Freedom is a right everyone deserves, but not to an extant where it disturbs other people's right to freedom. So everyone is free to use the Internet but not to do as they please, like hackers and the likes.
The Declaration of Independence for Cyberspace was created to pass the Telecommunication Act of 1996 in the America. If more declaration such as that is created to surpass the laws, it is disastrous to me, to you, to the community, to our world. Is it that hard to follow the codes, the laws that is made for our own good?
