Internet Law

3 credits · Law School

This course explores the legal framework that governs the Internet. We will examine how technical decisions can have far-reaching implications, the role of government in regulating the Internet, the legal obligations of intermediaries such as Facebook and Google, emerging equality issues, and the generative nature of the Internet that has enabled it to evolve and adapt in ways that create both opportunities as well as challenges for society. Specific emphasis will be on freedom of speech and content moderation on the Internet. [3]
