Internet Regulation

The issues surrounding being able to access ideas from all over the world publishing our words and images is that people are able to modify these. For example if an article is produced online and posted it someone may plagiarize their work.

For internet regulation the responsibility should go towards one of the regulation bodies that are present now as they have experience in monitoring mediums e.g. Ofcom regulating TV.

Ofcom could do this as they have proven to be successful with monitoring the TV. Therefore they may decrease things such as illegal downloading.

A new organization may not be required as there are some organizations such as Ofcom who could do this. However if a new organization was created they could focus solely on the internet. As Ofcom would have to monitor too many mediums it may be easier if a new organization did this.

The regulation could be monitored by tracking programmes such as peer 2 peer (P2P) where some programmes should be restriced and can only access things that are allowed.
