Managing Objectionable Electronic Content Across National Borders

Description: 

Security concerns are causing government entities to block or filter access to locally objectionable content. Improved cooperation between private sector Internet platforms and law enforcement officials will better enable local laws and customs to be respected while maintaining information flows.

2015 Accomplishments:

Identified the Internet & Jurisdiction Project as the premier effort to broker cross-jurisdiction information takedown requests where the content is illegal in one jurisdiction and not in the other.

2016-17 Objectives:

Continue to collaborate with and advocate for the Internet & Jurisdiction Project.
