One of the great advantages of the internet, and one of the reasons for its tremendous growth in recent years, has been its freedom from controls and regulation. It has been a little like the Wild West with entrepreneurs, artists, and anyone with a desire to communicate being free to do so, and only limited by his or her imagination. This has led to invention and creativity, but also to abuses. The debate today relates to control and regulation of the internet and the question for discussion is whether you think that this beast should be tamed. Consider the arguments pro and con, and discuss the various ways that such controls could be imposed. Look at the jurisdictional problems, but consider also how to maintain the freewheeling nature of the internet that has contributed to so much creativity.
