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 evolution of internet access and use in Brazil in the direction of social inclusiveness and to guarantee uses that promote individual and community development is the focus of the present paper. Previous evidence on the subject initially presented indicates the prevalence of contrasting aspects: some outstanding positive initiatives and results towards democratization of the internet, as well as the maintenance of great digital inequalities. New evidence on the evolution of internet access and use is also discussed herein, based on analyses of longitudinal data obtained from the Brazilian Census Bureau’s Annual Survey (IBGE/PNAD, 2005, 2008). After describing aspects of increase in access to the internet, we focus on the evolution of different types of everyday life internet uses, particularly those that might contribute to individual and community development. How accesses and uses are gradually incorporating the less privileged sectors of the Brazilian adult population is also considered in the analyses. The results obtained reinforce the previous contrasting evidences: outstanding growth in access and in diversified uses are observed - suggesting intensive appropriation of internet technology and resources by the population - as well as the persistence of great inequalities. These circumstances indicate that the digital divide in Brazil is still a great challenge to be faced through comprehensive and long-term policies and initiatives.

Selling and marketing of both the products and services have undergone sea changes, in the last decade or so, with greater focus on internet marketing Expanding coverage of internet allows spreading of products without involving huge additional investments in distribution system. The internet technology has existed for more than 40 years now, yet it was the introduction of the World Wide Web (WWW) that caused its fast market penetration (Chaffey, 2003). In only four years, the internet reached an audience of 50 million users in the USA. It took the television over 13 years and the telephone over 75 years to reach this number (Angeli & Kundler, 2008). Considering that, the internet can said to be the fastest spreading information media in today's world. The strength of the WWW was the power to provide easy access to information using a network of web sites (Chaffey, 2003). Of course, many people realized the huge possibilities of this media. Companies saw big marketing opportunities as internet user numbers increased (Zeff, 1999). The chapter will try to seek the performance and effectiveness of current techniques of internet marketing and at the same time to identify the potential of new and emerging techniques for further strengthening the internet marketing with special emphasis on Affiliate Marketing.

Subject ICANN governance. Significance As website branding has become more competitive and domain names more valuable, the Domain Name System (DNS) and the organisation responsible for overseeing the DNS infrastructure, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), face increased scrutiny. Until 2016, the US retained stewardship over ICANN. Given the DNS’s importance as a core internet technology, this has provoked unease from countries including China and Russia, triggering institutional reform. Impacts ICANN will re-evaluate its policies on data collection for WHOIS service in Europe or face fines for falling foul of GDPR. The US government is highly unlikely to take down Russian servers. China is unlikely for the time being to challenge the internet governance status quo.

In the 2000s, China and Russia emerged as outspoken actors with global ambitions. To communicate their status aspirations, both countries introduced a range of nation-branding institutions and initiatives. Global Internet governance – the design and administration of Internet technology and related policymaking – is among the domains where China and Russia have asserted their national brands. The Chinese and Russian governments co-advance the brand narrative of ‘Internet sovereignty’ in opposition to perceived technological and governance hegemony of the United States. Given the power that private online intermediaries wield in the political economy of the Internet, national digital media champions, China’s Baidu and Russia’s Yandex, have been integral to their countries’ Internet branding efforts. The article examines how China and Russia have forged a public–private relationship with respective digital media champions in the context of building and branding an Internet sovereignty agenda.

The modern development of information technology provides the opportunity to use them in many areas of life, which also include medicine and pharmacy. The introduction of technologies such as an electronic prescription system, drug labeling, creates the prereq-uisites for the remote provision of services. Recently, legislative changes have legalized the distance trad-ing of OTC drugs. In this regard, soon the supply chain of the drug to the end user may include a mini-mum number of professionals. Thus, in these condi-tions, the role of information that users can receive via the Internet is significantly increasing. Such a term as the "usability" of the site, or its ease of use, appeared back in 1998 and every year is of increasing importance. In relation to online pharmacies, the usa-bility assessment is especially relevant in terms of both general functionality, which is typical for all services selling products via the Internet, and features specific to Internet pharmacies only. On May 8, 2020, an anal-ysis of the "usability" of 20 sites of pharmacy organi-zations was conducted. Some advantages were high-lighted (putting information on the quality of goods (declarations, certificates), warnings, contraindica-tions and storage conditions in a separate block), as well as disadvantages (some clutter of the site with elements, the presence of blank pages and a fuzzy warning about prescription drugs).
