Read the presentation of the  authors of the contributions (written in French) “Regulate the Internet”. Some argue that any regulation is contrary to the nature of digital. Others argue that this is indispensable, for its economic deployment and for public freedoms. Internet renews conceptions and practices. Notably those of the Law of the Regulation. Indeed, the Internet makes it possible to offer and obtain services that are in often regulated sectors: financial, audiovisual, healthcare, gaming. Moreover, they converge in new objects: the connected objects. Often described as a “legal desert”, digital appears as a kind of jumble of systems of various regulations that overlap, deform and contradict each other. In reaction, an “interregulation”, de facto or de jure, in law more or less flexible, is in the process of being established. Who will be the Regulator: The States? The judge? The Internet users? The future is open. The book first determines the “Interregulation Needs” and then describes and conceives solutions for the interregulation of the digital space. Read the presentation of the two articles written by Marie-Anne Frison-Roche:      Thinking the world from the notion of “data”      To draw the regulatory consequences of a rethinked world from the notion of “data” The working papers which are the base of these articles are written in English.

I remember that it worried him because he was aware of the rhetoric, and even the contradiction, that these codes contain, and at the same time he did not see what could stop this legitimate way for international companies to organise an 'order' at home, since the Law was no longer able to offer them one from the outside, nor was Law capable of limiting the less virtuous tendency of companies to fashion norms by which they exercise power not only to organise themselves but also to govern others and the outside world. When Gérard Farjat wrote this article in 1978, Corporate Social Responsibility had not yet been conceived… Have we reached the same point? Can we even say that the situation has worsened, with the world being "standardised" and "governed" by "global" companies that write and impose codes of "good" conduct that express what is "good" in itself and end up constituting veritable "global constitutions"? No. In fact, the opposite is true. Through the power of Regulators and Supervisors, institutions of public authority, public standards are internalised in "global" companies, which repeat them in codes of conduct and become their own regulators and supervisors. -
