Digital border controls

Michl, Walther (2018): Digital border controls. In: Frontiers of Law in China, Vol. 13, No. 3: pp. 428-440

Abstract

The article examines to what extent territory plays a role in internet regulation, especially whether an equivalent to physical border controls for cyberspace already exists in Germany, i.e. digital border controls. To that end, both the abstract relevance of the territorial principle and specific examples of legal commands that cause the free flow of data to be interrupted or modified along state boundaries are scrutinized.
