Racism is one of the oldest, most oppressive issues along with other extreme forms of social communications. Nevertheless, the internet has already led to the opportunity of cyber-racism that occurs more surreptitiously and aggressively than before. This study commences by unravelling the abstractions of conventional-racism and cyber-racism, and it introduces the global stakeholders' approaches and counter measures, in particular the EU and the USA and their regulated and non-regulated practices to combat cyber-racism. This paper shall then bring forward informative argumentations on how the stakeholders' perspectives on cyber-racism can be scrutinised by focusing on both values of being human (individualism) and a reconciled global-society (cosmopolitanism) towards contemporary debates in the sociology of education and technology. In this conceptual thinking, even though hate-mongers are using internet technology to spread their hatred what is the acceptable action for us to do in the subject of internet governance?

The Impact

Content moderation was already a highly polarized policy topic before the COVID-19 pandemic. The subsequent onslaught of misinformation and disinformation on COVID-19 has also led to multiple platform policy responses by private US-based companies and beyond. Discussion of these policies has also contributed to a sense that this level of media attention to a formerly somewhat obscure US law – Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act – could lead to a change in that law. This commentary provides a look into this small piece of legislation that has historically had a big impact on western internet governance. This is framed within a more global view of internet governance, and the impact this may have on the internet more broadly.

BACKGROUND Background: Tobacco and alcohol are the main risk factors for oral cancers, whose low survival rate is a public health problem. Health policies on a European scale (prevention campaign, modification of tobacco packaging) have therefore been launched to prevent and dissuade the population from the consequences of their consumption. Due to the increase in smoking among women and changes in sexual practices, the incidence of this disease is still too high. The evaluation of the research data of the population on the internet could make it possible to measure the impact and better guide these preventive measures. OBJECTIVE Objective: The objective of our study was to analyse the data on interest shown in oral cancers from several online databases, and to cross check that with the data on the introduction of public healthcare programmes in the EU. METHODS Methods: Search data collected from Google©, Wikipedia© and Twitter© users relating to oral cancers in the 28 countries of the EU between January 1st, 2004 and September 30th, 2018. Data on articles published in the press and the bibliometric analysis of scientific articles during the same period was analysed. The link between these results and the introduction of public health programmes in the EU over the same period was studied. RESULTS Results: Shock images and health warnings on cigarette packets have led to a significant increase in interest shown in oral cancers on the internet in 7 countries. The European Make Sense Campaign did not have any influence on internet searches, in contrast to campaigns on a national level. There was an asymmetry in the interest shown in oral cancers on the internet between those seeking to raise awareness (press, scientific community) and the general population (Wikipedia©, Twitter©) which was more likely to follow the news than look for precise medical information. CONCLUSIONS Conclusion: Our work highlights 7 areas of work around which oral cancer awareness in Europe should be refocused. INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT RR2-17243

<p>On a global scale, the music industry is currently experiencing declining growth after a significant decline in profits. This phenomenon is common in the era of digital transformation. Based on the EU report (European Commission, 2017) that global technology is changing rapidly. This reflects the desire of humans to do more by finding opportunities to meet their needs. The internet is the starting point for why the global world is changing so fast. One example is the global economic sector. By using the internet, people can search for all digital entertainment content easily without filtering it out. Sharing files on the internet has a negative impact on the music industry's sales the old way. They demand the termination of sharing music through the internet such as Youtube. This paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of company-based file-sharing businesses in Indonesia. How the government takes advantage of this business and how the Indonesian music industry overcomes the effects of globalization</p>

Purpose In Latin America, digital trade is still a marginal issue in the internet policy and governance debate, as well as in the trade regime. However, there are signs that this is beginning to change. This paper aims to discuss why this is changing and how, against the backdrop of the internet governance field. Design/methodology/approach The research has used a mixed methods approach based on interviews and participant observation in one regional process, as well as an extensive literature review and document analysis. Findings There is a current scenario for expanding the digital trade agenda in the regional commercial blocs with the aim of rapidly incorporating them to a process of digitization that will be challenging their economic foundations. The tangibility of the impact of the expanding digital economy is much more prevalent than other internet governance debates, and these initiatives seem to be adopting a pragmatic approach, rather than questioning the existing rules that govern the trade and the internet regimes. There are significant challenges emerging from a fragmented institutional background for trade-related policy in the region and the digital single market might be one of the solutions. Finally, domestic coordination among competing laws regarding data protection and their enforcement without conflicting with cross border data flows will be a challenge to be addressed. Originality/value There is a lack of evidence-based research on the subject in the region. Many of the accounts stem from normative perspectives (many from scholars with legal backgrounds). This paper explores the connections between the internet governance regime and the emerging digital trade based on existing policies and processes.
