Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
- Introduction: The text introduces the concept of internet regulation and outlines three main schools of thought: Cyber-libertarianism, Cyber-paternalism, and Network Communitarianism. It then focuses on Lessig's "code" model (Cyber-paternalism) and Murray's symbiotic regulation model (Network Communitarianism).
- Cyber-paternalism: This section discusses Lessig's "code" model, emphasizing the idea that code shapes the environment and facilitates control. Lessig argues that code is the primary regulator in cyberspace, influencing market decisions, legal enforcement, and user behavior.
- Network Communitarianism: This section explores Murray's model of symbiotic regulation, highlighting its emphasis on the interconnectedness of factors within the internet. Murray argues that the system is self-regulatory, with influence flowing in both directions between users and various modalities, including the market, social norms, and architecture.
- Comparing the Models: This section contrasts Lessig's linear model with Murray's more holistic and circular approach. It argues that Murray's concept is more comprehensive and sustainable, recognizing the importance of considering all factors and perspectives in online regulation.
