I believe that we need for the cyberspace a Charter of Fundamental Rights, the John Perry Barlow’s “Declaration of the Independence of supplements Cyber Space” from the year 1996.

Any form of jurisdictional lawsuit, criminal process, and legal dispute settlements will be referring the national authorities where the head-office of online companies is located.

Good news is that people in general and indirectly, agree any forms of common ethics rule of using internet. This might be a good manner of individual users of internet worldwide amidst the existing irresponsible manners of online scammers, hackers, and website crackers.

Aside from how the regulatory compliance of the forthcoming internet jurisdiction will be, cyber is still expected to be enabled to protect the continuing comfort and sustainability of meta-medium world.
