“…Reportedly, however, Germany has called for an EU regulation, imposing mandatory reviews (in all Member States) to approve or prohibit foreign investments in consideration of possible national security threats [18]. The EU Parliament has also called on the European Commission to draw up such common EU laws on foreign investment review [5]. Furthermore, in comparison to the United States, the EU has not (yet) imposed any economic sanctions related to malicious cyber activities.…”

“…Against this background, the task of ensuring information security as an integral element of the country's national security is becoming increasingly relevant, and the protection of information is becoming one of the priority state tasks. Information protection is provided in any state and in its development goes through many stages depending on the needs of the state, the possibilities, methods and means of obtaining it, the legal regime of the state and real efforts to ensure it [5]. The potential development opportunities of the main areas of society are determined by the state of information processes.…”

The article is devoted to information security issues in the world and in Azerbaijan, in particular. The article compares laws and regulations of Azerbaijan and other countries in the cybersecurity policy between them. The article reveals the features of the organisational and legal regulation of the information security system as an integral part of state security. A number of aspects of ensuring information security through legal and technological means, as well as a number of features of ensuring the security of certain categories of information, are highlighted. Recommendations and conclusions from the policies of both jurisdictions are presented.

“…In order to protect critical information infrastructures, it is considered necessary to be aware of the most recent cyber threats and how to appropriately respond to them. Even if security is not the main business of a great deal of information and technology companies, such as Internet service providers, they are considered to be better placed to understand, and subsequently minimise the risks within NIS [38]. When Regulatory Capitalism draws insight from Network Governance, it can serve to better understand how private actors are involved in regulation of specific sectors, as well as why they are brought into these regulatory networks.…”

The protection of cyberspace has become one of the highest security priorities of governments worldwide. The EU is not an exception in this context, given its rapidly developing cyber security policy. Since the 1990s, we could observe the creation of three broad areas of policy interest: cyber-crime, critical information infrastructures and cyber-defence. One of the main trends transversal to these areas is the importance that the private sector has come to assume within them. In particular in the area of critical information infrastructure protection, the private sector is seen as a key stakeholder, given that it currently operates most infrastructures in this area. As a result of this operative capacity, the private sector has come to be understood as the expert in network and information systems security, whose knowledge is crucial for the regulation of the field. Adopting a Regulatory Capitalism framework, complemented by insights from Network Governance, we can identify the shifting role of the private sector in this field from one of a victim in need of protection in the first phase, to a commercial actor bearing responsibility for ensuring network resilience in the second, to an active policy shaper in the third, participating in the regulation of NIS by providing technical expertise. By drawing insights from the above-mentioned frameworks, we can better understand how private actors are involved in shaping regulatory responses, as well as why they have been incorporated into these regulatory networks.

How harassment and hate speech policies have changed over time: Comparing Facebook, Twitter and Reddit (2005–2020)

Social media platforms make choices about what content is and is not permissible on their platforms. For example, choices about if and how to deal with online harassment and hate speech are growing problems in many online settings. But these choices are often opaque, can vary from platform to platform, and can change over time with little notice. This study examines the ways Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit have defined harassment and hate speech, as well as who they frame as responsible for dealing with harassment and hate speech over time. Using content analysis, the policy structures that house relevant policies, the policy documents themselves, and blog posts are examined. The results illustrate a phased approach to defining harassment and hate, which has become increasingly complex and nuanced over time. Additionally, this work shows a compounding view of who is responsible, which began with users but over time has come to include the platform itself, technology, and external actors such as civil society groups. This paper highlights continued opacity and increasing complexity while also providing contextual historical information necessary for both future research and platform governance decisions.
