Lessig code is law6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Combined, these work together to regulate our Internet behavior. To begin, Lessig describes four methods of regulation that apply to both cyberspace and the natural world: 1) regulation through network architecture (code) 2) societal regulations (what is considered appropriate social behavior) 3) The market costs associated with maintaining parts of the Internet 4) The law. To maintain these values and to save the Internet from over-regulation, Lessig proposes - counter intuitively - increased regulation. He criticizes the belief that the Internet is a sovereign entity without ties to the traditional legal system and warns that this fallacy could lead to the demise of core values such as free speech, privacy and anonymity, to name a few. Lessig believes that we should not sit idle and hope that the Internet will fix itself. The action he upholds is educated, government intervention rather than libertarian market faith. He writes that, in order to protect freedom on the Net, we need to take actions to safeguard the values we cherish. In his book Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, Lawrence Lessig, Professor of Law at Stanford University, argues that the future shape of the Internet depends on the actions we take to define it. ![]()
