| Abstract: | This article deals with a new problem attributable to the World Wide Web's lack of formal structure and/or organization. The intent is to show that the World Wide Web's insitence in remaining free from outside regulation and interference may be counter-productive. The World Wide Web (also known as the Internet and/or Cyberspace) is growing by leaps and bounds. It is entering uncharted territory. While doing so, it must recognize that trampling at will on existing legal and ethical societal standards will impair its crediblitiy and usefulness. It should be willing to accept the benefits of mild regulation and outside control, against the risks of unfettered freedom |
