Abstract

The remarkable rise of social media has created a dilemma for countries determined to limit Internet content. With current technology, the standard methods of Internet filtering-blacklist and block-are not as effective at identifying and limiting content hosted via Web 2.0 applications, diminishing the impact of regulatory action of this sort within the jurisdiction of states. 1 In recognition of this, public-private transnational cooperation and coercion has been expanding to close gaps in the enforcement of state-mandated online content restrictions. These hybrid forms of filtering occupy gray zones of technological, political, legal, economic, and social policymaking and are fraught with contradictions and tensions.
