The Internet has significantly changed the lifestyles of individuals and many aspects of society while also having an important effect on economic growth and sustainable development. However, the usage and diffusion of the Internet vary greatly depending on the country, considering their economic and social conditions. This study investigates through an empirical analysis the factors that make Internet diffusion faster, especially focusing on the digital content. The results show that the abundance of digital content has played a crucial role in the rapid diffusion of the Internet. At the diffusion take-off stage, the number of Internet users appears to be the most important factor for fast Internet diffusion. However, as diffusion progresses to a mature stage, the amount of available digital content becomes the crucial factor for fast Internet diffusion. Thus, the countries in which the Internet is less diffused and the economy is less developed also require policies that promote various digital content from the launching of the Internet service to anticipate fast Internet diffusion in the whole diffusion progress.

Abstract:The internet developed for the first time in Indonesia in the early 1990s. Starting from the pagayuban network, it is now expanding without boundaries anywhere. A survey conducted by the Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association (APJII) said that the number of internet users in Indonesia in 2012 reached 63 million people or 24.23 percent of the country's total population. Next year, that figure is predicted to increase by close to 30 percent to 82 million users and continue to grow to 107 million in 2014 and 139 million or 50 percent of the total population in 2015. million people. This matter also results in political communication with the internet media, or is often said to be cyber politics. Cyber politics in Indonesia has faced growth in recent years. There are many facilities that support the growth of cyber politics, such as Facebook, Twitter, mailing list, YouTube, and others.Keywords: Cyberpolitik, Internet  Abstrak:Internet berkembang pertama kali di Indonesia pada awal tahun 1990-an.

The Internet has come a long way over the past twenty years, and many Internet-era enterprises have had to face daunting challenges while trying to create innovative business models. Many types of Internet interactions can facilitate networking (e.g., The Web, Web services). Since the advent of the Internet, service requesters and service providers have generated diverse electronic services (e-services), and since 2003, many experts have proposed the concept of Web 2.0. People rely on Internet e-services to execute activities and meet requirements; however, e-services lack a standardization method for constructing and managing them. The current study presents a framework design and a comprehensive interface for e-service providers and requesters. The study adopts the concept of Web 2.0 by using Web services with related standards for developing the framework design. Specifically, the study uses semantic Web technologies to complete the construction of e-services. After that, Internet users can quickly and conveniently access the framework to obtain suitable e-services.

This study aims to find out to what extent the Internet users in line with media literacy. According to Indonesia Internet Service Provider Association (APJII) and BPS Statistic Indonesia, it was found that Internet users in Indonesia have grown since three years ago up to 13% or become 71.19 million people until the end of 2013. According to research survey MarkPlus Insight, “netizen” or Internet users who spend more than three hours per day on Internet. Moreover, they are increasing from 24,2 Million people in 2012 and become 31,7 million people in 2013. This research used qualitative method by gathering the data through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to private university students who spent for Internet 5 hours per day and less than 5 hours per day. The theory used in this research was media literacy. The result of this research stated that students who accessed the Internet below 5 hours per day were already busy with work and not too intense in using the Internet either via smartphone or a computer. Different findings came up from the students who accessed the Internet over 5 hours per day. Most of the time, they used the Internet for social media and instant messaging (instant messenger) through smartphones. Critical attitude towards the media message depends on the informants’ interest toward the information.

This paper is devoted to uncover difficulties in establishing liability in online defamation in Tanzania. The focus is on the effectiveness of the current laws and regulations relating to online defamation; and the lack of awareness on the part of the general public on legal and practical challenges in establishing liability over defamatory comments occurring on the internet. The investigator discovered that, the existing legal framework in Tanzania cover issues of establishing liability in online defamation suffers from a number of inadequacies. Moreover the legal and practical challenges includes, the weakness of some law and regulations covering online defamation, limitation periods, jurisdiction and choice of law issues, investigation and admissibility of electronic evidence and its authenticity, identifying anonymous defendant and the rights to privacy. The author recommends that the government has to consider amending its law by taking on board the forgotten stakeholders opinions that would address by dealing with specific issues of liability in online defamation to internet users, Internet Service providers(ISP’s) and intermediary for their defamatory comments.

The paper is dedicated to the analysis of the emotiogenic properties of digital content as a factor in the occurrence of impressing impact on an individual on the Internet. Impressing is considered as a sociocultural phenomenon - its results are the formation of a person’s sustainable desire for a certain type of activity. This is especially relevant in adolescence: for Internet users of this age category Internet is the second reality, while surfing the Internet is not only a significant part of social interactions, but also the actualization of individual’s abilities. Based on the sociological and psychological theory of perception, the emotiogenic properties of digital resources are represented as primary and secondary. The ability of each of the types of these properties to determine the occurrence of impressing in adolescent users is revealed. The corresponding assessment of the digital resources demanded by users of the considered age category is given on the basis of empirical data obtained by qualitatively-quantitative research methods: focus group, content analysis, interviews.

Broadband Internet involves two vertical relationships: the Internet Service Provider (ISP) requires both a physical conduit (e.g. telephone or cable television lines) and content. The ISP–conduit relationship has been subject to controversial unbundling regulation, but no such rules apply to the ISP–content relationship. We argue that regardless of whether ISPs are vertically integrated with conduits, they have incentives to create vertical restrictions on content. Foreclosure of ISPs by conduits may not increase and indeed could reduce these restrictions. Thus, telephone common carriage and Internet application neutrality may both be at odds with unbundling and "open access" policies.

The study seeks to investigate the Internet usage habits among the online population in India. It intends to confirm if respondents differed on the basis of demographic variables such as age, gender, occupation and city/town tier. Based on primary research, the present study examines the differential effects of demographic variables on various online activities, their usage frequency and duration. The study proposes a possible segmentation of Internet users and a classification of Internet activities. K-mean cluster analysis and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) have been used to capture the same. The results suggest that activity-wise usage and duration of Internet usage vary with age, occupation and city/town tier of the respondents, but not much with gender. The factor analysis suggested grouping the dependent usage and activity variables into five major factors. The article would be helpful for the Internet service providers in segmenting the Internet users and enhancing the scholars’ understanding of effect of given demographic variables on Internet usage.

Almost 59% of the world's population is on the internet, and in 2020, globally, there were more than 3.81 billion individual social network users. Eighty-six percent of the internet users were fooled to spread fake news. The advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can generate fake digital content that appears to be realistic. The generated content can deceive the users into believing it is real. These fabricated contents are termed deepfakes. The common category of deepfakes is video deepfakes. The deep learning techniques, such as auto-encoders and generative adversarial network (GAN), generate near realistic digital content. The content generated poses a serious threat to the multiple dimensions of human life and civil society. This chapter provides a comprehensive discussion on deepfake generation, detection techniques, deepfake generation tools, datasets, applications, and research trends.
