Title: Immer mehr staatlich verordnete Grenzen im Cyberspace
Abstract: The article discusses a number of recent instances of regulatory activism in cyberspace that disturb the free flow of information and decrease the alleged democratic potential of the internet as a new communication medium. It points the attention to the possibilities that the law of the WTO can offer in this regard treating such barriers as trade barriers. The paper also raises some broader questions of the appropriate governance toolbox for cyberspace in consideration of the multiplied economic, social, cultural and political role of the internet.
All these discussions reflect part of the topics covered by the recent World Trade Forum 'Trade Governance in the Digital Age', organised by the World Trade Institute.
