I expect to learn about Regulation and Governance of the Internet

Quote:

“Internet governance is the development and application by Governments, the private sector and civil society, in their respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures, and programs that shape the evolution and use of the internet.”

Review:

Internet governance is the development and application by Governments, the private sector and civil society, in their respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules,  decision-making procedures, and programs that shape the evolution and use of the internet. censorship is a violation of a right that is not allowed to be heard might just be true, and the second that it might contain some truth. The freedom of speech or expression of one person can cause harm to another, so some restrictions need to be placed on how and to what extent a person can be allowed free expression.  A strong moral case can be made for regulating the content of the Internet, but there is also a strong case that such regulation cannot be very effective and comes at a price in Internet performance.
