It is difficult to determine jurisdiction over the internet because it is open, asynchronous, interactive, and distributed (Spinello, 2021). As a result, it is challenging to prescribe limits and set universal regulations that would work for all components, times, users, and locations across the globe. The internet does not have a centralized, governing authority that can address and administer all possible devices and users connected to it, and even if it did, the effects of the internet and its use are not bound by location, whereas governing authority, ie jurisdiction, does. If a user in the US posts content that is harmful to content consumers in Bolivia, it would be challenging for users in Bolivia to seek legal remedy because Bolivian courts have no jurisdiction in the US, and the poster in the US is not subject to Bolivian law.
Similarly, within the US, it can be challenging to investigate cybercrimes and/or remedy civil cases because "each state has the freedom to define how far their long-arm statute reaches into the digital sphere through the statutes themselves as well as interpretations and applications of existing precedent" (Yelmini, 20). With such varying interpretations and applications of law to cyberspace across the world, it is challenging to create a consistent and enforceable basis of jurisdiction for activity online.
