Summary
Key questions addressed by this IRIS Special: 1. Does the Internet search market show signs of a natural monopoly? 2. What are the potential dangers of search engines? 3. What is the function of metadata and how should they be categorized from a legal point of view? 4. How can the free flow of information be weighed against the protection of privacy? 5. What does the exclusive position of search engines mean for freedom of expression? 6. How is the EC regulatory framework (Framework Directive for Electronic Communications Networks and Services, Universal Service Directive, E-Commerce Directive, Audiovisual Media Services Directive) relevant to search engines? 7. What examples are there of self- and co-regulation being used instead of State regulation? 8. What kind of regulation is necessary? In recent years, as users have become linked increasingly closely via powerful Internet systems, the amount of audiovisual content on the Internet has also grown at an explosive rate. We can only assume that this trend will continue. With such an enormous variety of information being placed anarchically on the Internet, search engines have a key role to play in facilitating access to this information. They have a determining influence on what information is found and what is not. The same applies to electronic program guides in the television sector. In view of the importance of search engines, this IRIS Special considers how they are regulated and the extent to which additional regulation is necessary against the background of the increasing supply of audiovisual content.--Publisher's description.
