Hello listers,

As we dive more into content regulation we should maybe also focus on:

Why content is regulated?
- Copyright reasons,obscene content, bullying and hate speech(causing harm to others) security, human dignity, privacy.
-The different kinds of content-online content, traditional media etc
For online content how different countries/governments are trying to regulate online content e.g self filtering, internet service providers or anyone that has access to blocking offensive material but fails to do so.

Kind regards
Carolyne

Hello Listers, 

I’ll start us off with the discussion on Content Regulation on the internet. I find it useful for us to first understand what content regulation means. To this end, I invite your contributions to the following questions–

(a) What does 'content regulation’ mean?

(b) How is content regulation achieved?

(c) What categories of content face the most regulation? 

Let’s go!
