Internet Content Regulation: Contemporary Legal and Regulatory
Issues in the Changing Digital Landscape is written as reference
book for legal and ICT researchers, policymakers, practitioners,
academics, and students that intend to deepen their understandings
on how Internet content may be regulated. Although Internet content
regulation has been sceptically equated to censorship, more States
have realised that leaving the Internet free is no longer safe for
various reasons, including exposure to content risks online. States
and international community have realised that because of exposure to content risks online,
ethical, moral and religious values of younger generations were in depleting state. However,
there is also a need for balance between regulation and freedom that has posed many legal
and regulatory issues and challenges to both regulators and Internet stakeholders.
Hence, this book oers perspectives from both Internet freedom advocates against Internet
regulation proponents and justies why Internet censorship is deemed necessary to face
issues resulting from exposure to content risks. It also deliberated the self-regulation scheme
currently practiced in Malaysia and oers provocative insights on how the scheme can be
improved to face the issues and challenges brought by the ever-changing digital landscape
of the Internet.

The question harmonization between Islam and human rights is one of
the most debatable issues in contemporary discourse among Muslim
academics. At the root of the controversy lies the question about the
legitimacy of such an academic engagement. This is primarily because
the common perception is that the notion of human rights as embodied
in Universal Declaration of Human Rights and its supplementary
documents is bound by its underlying humanistic assumptions about
humans which are anathema to the Islamic concept of human beings
as bond-servants and vicegerents of God on earth. Accordingly, its reconcilability with Islam in
general and with Shari`ah in particular is a divisive issue among Muslim thinkers. Approaches
range from vehement rejection to liberal treatment even to the extent of compromising fixed
parts of Islamic law. A middle of the road approach within the framework of Islamic legal
methodology of harmonization is still in the making. It is with this agenda in perspective that
the authors of this book have engaged on various topical issues on the subject.
