Internet Governance. Actors, Technology, Content.
Only recently, the Internet Governance Forum in Istanbul, Turkey dealt with nothing less than the future of Internet Governance. The question of how to globally govern the Internet is one of the most pressing issues within the field of Internet & society. The Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society contributed to this debate by shedding light on Internet Governance from the dimensions of actors, technology and content.
