Criminal Protection Of The Human Right In His Personal Image (A Study In French Legislation, Bahraini Legislation, And Libyan Legislation, Dr. Mashallah Othman Muhammad
مجلة جامعة الإمارات للبحوث القانونية UAEU LAW JOURNAL
Individual or personal freedom is a basic and important requirement of the human being in various peoples and throughout the ages. The person has taken a long march of struggle and struggle to defend and protect it, and this has been demonstrated in the affirmation of personal freedom and the rights associated with it in various legislations around the world.
At the forefront of those rights is the human right to prohibit the image and not to take it, publish it or use it without its consent.
The risks to this right have increased with the scientific and technological progress …
Saving The Internet, Jonathan Zittrain
Saving The Internet, Jonathan Zittrain
Indian Journal of Law and Technology
The runaway successes of the Internet and PC with the mainstream public have put them in positions of significant stress and danger. Though the Internet’s lack of centralized structure makes it difficult to assess the sturdiness of its foundations, there are strong signals that our network and computers are subject to abuse in ways that have become deeper and more prevalent as their popularity has grown.
Tiktok, Cfius, And The Splinternet, Jake T. Seiler
Tiktok, Cfius, And The Splinternet, Jake T. Seiler
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
This note will discuss the role that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS” or “the Committee”) has played in foreign relations and how it contributes to the balkanization of the internet today. The Committee is an interagency body that reviews foreign investments for potential national security threats. Recently, CFIUS has been in the spotlight for its role in the sale of TikTok, a cellphone app owned by a popular Chinese corporation, ByteDance. While much of CFIUS’ review in the past has been focused on Chinese-owned corporations, there is much debate about whether or not countries should …
Free Speech On Social Media: Unrestricted Or Regulated?, Alessandra Garcia Guevara
Free Speech On Social Media: Unrestricted Or Regulated?, Alessandra Garcia Guevara
Student Writing
Social media has evolved into an essential mode of communication in recent years, allowing people to express their thoughts with the audience of their choice by sending private messages, posting their thoughts, or sharing their opinions. Such audiences can come from all over the world because this online technology breaks down geographic, linguistic, and cultural barriers. As a result, social media has evolved into a powerful tool for self-expression, allowing anyone with an Internet connection to participate in global debates. However, its misuse has had disastrous consequences in the real world, such as the attack on the Capitol that occurred …
Republication Liability On The Web, Jeffrey Standen
Republication Liability On The Web, Jeffrey Standen
Marquette Law Review
The tort of defamation evolved in an era where defamatory speech was published in books, magazines, newspapers, or other printed documents. The doctrines that are antecedent to the tort, such as publication, fault, defamation per se, presumed damages, and republication liability, similarly presumed that most defamation would appear in written form in a published work. Similarly, the significant limitations on defamation liability that were produced by a succession of Supreme Court constitutional precedent, including restrictions on prior restraint, heightened fault standards, expanded “public” classes, the “fact/opinion” dichotomy, and the “truth/substantial truth” burden shifting, also were based on a publishing world …
On The Horizon: Nanosatellite Constellations Will Revolutionize The Internet Of Things (Iot), Diane Janosek
On The Horizon: Nanosatellite Constellations Will Revolutionize The Internet Of Things (Iot), Diane Janosek
Seattle Journal of Technology, Environmental & Innovation Law
The Internet of Things has experienced exponential growth and use across the globe with 25.1 billion devices currently in use. Until recently, the functionality of the IoT was dependent on secure data flow between internet terrestrial stations and the IoT devices. Now, a new alternative path of data flow is on the horizon.
IoT device manufacturers are now looking to outer space nanosatellite constellations to connect to a different type of internet. This new internet is no longer terrestrial with fiber cables six feet underground but now looking up, literally, 200 to 300 miles above the earth, to communicate, connect …

Sex, Money, And Free Speech: The Many Harms Of Fosta/Sesta, Desmond Mantle
Sex, Money, And Free Speech: The Many Harms Of Fosta/Sesta, Desmond Mantle
CMC Senior Theses
This thesis tracks the development of the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act/Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act, or FOSTA/SESTA, which became federal law in 2018. The law's passage followed as a natural consequence of popular concerns about human trafficking. Congress passed the legislation by large margins in both houses given bipartisan opposition to sex trafficking. This thesis identifies plausible reasons for the only two Senate votes against the bill: those of Senators Rand Paul and Ron Wyden. Though these senators came from opposite sides of the aisle, they shared concerns about the future of free speech online and the potential failure …

Addictive Technology And Its Implications For Antitrust Enforcement, James Niels Rosenquist, Fiona M. Scott Morton, Samuel N. Weinstein
Articles
The advent of mobile devices and digital media platforms in the past decade represents the biggest shock to cognition in human history. Robust medical evidence is emerging that digital media platforms are addictive and, when used in excess, harmful to users’ mental health. Other types of addictive products, like tobacco and prescription drugs, are heavily regulated to protect consumers. Currently, there is no regulatory structure protecting digital media users from these harms. Antitrust enforcement and regulation that lowers entry barriers could help consumers of social media by increasing competition. Economic theory tells us that more choice in digital media will …
The New Bailments, Danielle D'Onfro
The New Bailments, Danielle D'Onfro
Scholarship@WashULaw
The rise of cloud computing has dramatically changed how consumers and firms store their belongings. Property that owners once managed directly now exists primarily on infrastructure maintained by intermediaries. Consumers entrust their photos to Apple instead of scrapbooks; businesses put their documents on Amazon’s servers instead of in file cabinets; seemingly everything runs in the cloud. Were these belongings tangible, the relationship between owner and intermediary would be governed by the common-law doctrine of bailment. Bailments are mandatory relationships formed when one party entrusts their property to another. Within this relationship, the bailees owe the bailors a duty of care …

Legislating Data Loyalty, Woodrow Hartzog, Neil Richards
Legislating Data Loyalty, Woodrow Hartzog, Neil Richards
Faculty Scholarship
Lawmakers looking to embolden privacy law have begun to consider imposing duties of loyalty on organizations trusted with people’s data and online experiences. The idea behind loyalty is simple: organizations should not process data or design technologies that conflict with the best interests of trusting parties. But the logistics and implementation of data loyalty need to be developed if the concept is going to be capable of moving privacy law beyond its “notice and consent” roots to confront people’s vulnerabilities in their relationship with powerful data collectors.
In this short Essay, we propose a model for legislating data loyalty. Our …
The Surprising Virtues Of Data Loyalty, Woodrow Hartzog, Neil M. Richards
The Surprising Virtues Of Data Loyalty, Woodrow Hartzog, Neil M. Richards
Faculty Scholarship
Lawmakers in the United States and Europe are seriously considering imposing duties of data loyalty that implement ideas from privacy law scholarship, but critics claim such duties are unnecessary, unworkable, overly individualistic, and indeterminately vague. This paper takes those criticisms seriously, and its analysis of them reveals that duties of data loyalty have surprising virtues. Loyalty, it turns out, can support collective well-being by embracing privacy’s relational turn; it can be a powerful state of mind for reenergizing privacy reform; it prioritizes human values rather than potentially empty formalism; and it offers solutions that are flexible and clear rather than …

Metaphors Of International Law, Harlan G. Cohen
Metaphors Of International Law, Harlan G. Cohen
Scholarly Works
This chapter explores international law in search of its hidden and not-so-hidden metaphors. In so doing, it discovers a world inhabited by states, where rules are mined or picked when ripe, where trade keeps boats forever afloat on rising tides. But is also unveils a world in which voices are silenced, inequality is ignored, and hands are washed of responsibility.
International law is built on metaphors. Metaphors provide a language to describe and convey the law’s operation, help international lawyers identify legal subjects and categorize situations in doctrinal categories, and provide normative justifications for the law. Exploring their operation at …

Explaining Florida Man, Ira P. Robbins
Explaining Florida Man, Ira P. Robbins
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
"Florida Man" is a popular cultural phenomenon in which journalists report on Floridians'unusual (and often criminal) behavior, and readers relish in and share the stories, largely on social media. A meme based on Florida Man news stories emerged in 2013 and continues to capture people's attention nationwide. Florida man is one of the latest unique trends to come from the Sunshine State and contributes to Florida's reputation as a quirky place.
Explanations for Florida Man center on Florida'sPublic Records Law, which is known as one of the most expansive open records laws in the country. All states and the District …

Copyright Through The Prism Of The Law And Economics Movement: A Scientific Approach, Nikos Koutras, Marinos Papadopoulos
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
This paper discusses aspects of economic analysis of law developed because of the status quo existing on the Internet and of the evolution of legal theory on copyright. It also explores the massive increase of interest in the law and economics of intellectual property during the first decade of twenty-first century. The paper argues that law and economics discourse on copyright foregrounds policymaking with a focus on copyright’s economic ramifications. This paper also examines Coase’s theorem and its influence on considerations about copyright regulatory frameworks and potential reform to keep abreast of ongoing technological advancements and their impact on copyright …

The Future Of The Americans With Disabilities Act: Website Accessibility Litigation After Covid-19, Randy Pavlicko
Cleveland State Law Review
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted in 1990 to eliminate discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Over time, as society has become more reliant on the internet, the issue of whether the ADA’s scope extends beyond physical places to online technology has emerged. A circuit split developed on this issue, and courts have discussed three interpretations of the ADA’s scope: (1) the ADA applies to physical places only; (2) the ADA applies to a website or mobile app that has a sufficient nexus to a physical place; or (3) the ADA broadly applies beyond physical places to online technology. …

Duality In Digital Discourse: The History And Future Of The American Public Forum, Nicholas Weaver
Duality In Digital Discourse: The History And Future Of The American Public Forum, Nicholas Weaver
Honors Theses
From the onset of the republic, the liberty to speak freely and debate openly has stood guard and helped preserve all other American rights. While this concept has endured, the means by which it exists in society has changed immensely. As the public forum has evolved to fit the modern needs of the citizenry, political discourse has become less a defense against tyranny and more a chaotic space of conflicting opinions.
In the United States, privately-owned social media companies have grown at an unprecedented rate, yet lawmakers have been slow to exercise any authority to regulate these corporations. For public …
Reviving Negotiated Rulemaking For An Accessible Internet, Julie Moroney
Reviving Negotiated Rulemaking For An Accessible Internet, Julie Moroney
Michigan Law Review
Web accessibility requires designing and developing websites so that people with disabilities can use them without barriers. While the internet has become central to daily life, websites have overwhelmingly remained inaccessible to the millions of users who have disabilities. Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to combat discrimination against people with disabilities. Passed in 1990, it lacks any specific mention of the internet Courts are split as to whether the ADA applies to websites, and if so, what actions businesses must take to comply with the law. Further complicating matters, the Department of Justice (DOJ) initiated the rulemaking …

Can A Person's "Slate" Ever Really Be "Cleaned"? The Modern-Day Implications Of Pennsylvania's Clean Slate Act, Kimberly E. Capuder
St. John's Law Review
(Exceprt)
In 2006, Khalia was arrested for a “low-level counterfeiting charge.” While Khalia was innocent and never convicted for the charged offense, she still had a criminal record. Because she was concerned that future employers would “view her as a thief,” she never applied to any of her dream jobs. But once Khalia’s arrest record was automatically sealed, she finally had enough confidence to send in a job application to a prestigious consulting firm, and was offered the position. Khalia believes that her newly sealed criminal record “means a future without judgment.” And this future without judgment was made possible …
Protection Of Criminal Offences To Face New Ethical Legislation In Jordan And United Arab Emirates
Protection Of Criminal Offences To Face New Ethical Legislation In Jordan And United Arab Emirates
UAEU Law Journal
It is said that 'honor' is the most precious of all things to human, and that without it the life itself becomes undignified especially for societies who give too much of a weight to this matter such as the Islamic Arabian societies.
The world has recently witnessed massive changes in the way of life that has produced a variety of new crimes and criminal techniques which gravely scratches the person's honor. These had specific adverse consequences on the Arabic societies, since this part of the world has become easily connected to the rest of the liberal countries within the concept …

UAEU Law Journal
The Internet has recently witnessed widespread usage to the extent that it has become one of the most important commercial distribution channels, and has, therefore, turned to be a phenomenon that cannot be ignored. Statistics show a growing number of Internet users shopping online at both local and international levels. Web sites are classified into two categories: informational, which aim at the exchange of information of different nature (cultural, media, advertisement, legal, administrative, recreational and commercial), and commercial websites which aim at trading across the electronic network. This research is concerned with studying these commercial Internet sites which can be …

The "Sovereignty" Of The State In Cyberspace, Mustafa Naouse
UAEU Law Journal
The principle of "Sovereignty" is no longer limited to the political dimensions as was the case in the last two centuries. A new technological dimension has been added to the already established original meaning. This is obvious through the states efforts to control their own distinctive domain names on the Internet. These names are assigned by ICANN[1]. It is a US (California) based international non-profit organization that controls distributing domain names on the Internet and the internet management processes. It can authorize entities to control their own domain names. It can even reassign or cancel the names of …
