Internet Governance is a well-debated but unresolved issue. No government, domestic, or international organization, has been able to delimit its parameters despite rational pro and con arguments. It is fair to say that, currently, the Internet is governed by the famous French phrase: lessee faire le se passé (Let it be, let it ensue). Nevertheless, governments under their legislative and policing powers, have been prompted to regulate those specific Internet-related issues that deserve immediate intervention, imperative aspects of the Internet like the telecommunication regulations, the data retention mandate for certain cases, like Internet gambling, Child Pornography, Online Marketing, Privacy and Data Protection among others. |  | Internet Search - Public Domain v.
