Synopsis
This title is concerned with the legal issues and ethical debates surrounding the explosive worldwide growth of of the Internet and commercial online services. The same things that make these networks invaluable--low-cost, worldwide reach, lack of censorship, and the ability to carry huge amounts of data, text, images, and sounds--also give them the capacity to be incredibly dangerous. The pressure on government to regulate these electronic impulses is tremendous, and the implications of its decisions will be far-reaching. The authors examine these battles and include interviews with key players in both pro- and anti-regulation camps.

Publisher's Note
A groundbreaking study of the legal issues and ethical debates surrounding the international growth of the Internet and commercial online services. The authors examine the pressure on the government to regulate this new media, scrutinize the ongoing battles, and interview key players in both pro- and anti-regulation camps. Ultimately, they offer a framework for a workable regulatory compromise in the arena of free speech. "Required reading for anyone interested in free speech in modern society"".The New York Times Book Review".

Industry Reviews
"What Wallace and Magnan do offer is a series of engaging stories behind some well-publicized challenges to problematic speech in cyberspace."
Washington Post Book World - Margaret J. Radin (06/30/1996)
