The purpose of this study is to reveal the dark side the Internet and establish a hierarchical framework to provide its governance path based on users' negative psychology. However, this hierarchical framework must consider unnecessary attributes and the interrelationships between the aspects and the criteria. Hence, fuzzy set theory is used for screening out the unnecessary attributes, a decision-making and trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) is proposed to manage the complex interrelationships among the aspects and attributes, and interpretive structural modeling (ISM) is used to divide the hierarchy and construct a hierarchical theoretical framework. The results show that: (1) the institutional system is the driver of Internet governance improvement (2) personal values are the last link in the governance process (3) the governance transition from institutional system to values must cross the barriers of ethics and technology. This paper proposes a more systematic and integrated hierarchical framework which provides theoretical guidance to govern the dark side of the Internet.

Interpretive Structural Modeling

One of the well-known topics of decision making is Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). Fuzzy set theory helps to provide a useful way to address a MCDM problem. Without models, MCDM methods cannot be practiced effectively, therefore, it is interesting to clarify the structure among criteria. But the shortcoming of MCDM is unable to capture imprecision or vagueness inherent in the information. Fuzzy set theory has great potential to handle such situations and fuzzy structural models have been developed. In this chapter widely used structural models i.e. Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), and Cognition Maps (CMs) are first summarized briefly along with their mathematical formulation and then diffusion these models into fuzzy set theory is explained along with a literature review of the based applications of these models in the digital marketplace.

In 2006, Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens became a laughingstock and enduring meme for arguing during legislative deliberations that the Internet could be understood as "a series of tubes" and “not a big truck" (Belson 2006). The unintended humor of his analogies was ridiculed as evidence that this older lawmaker was too out of touch with modern communications technology to effectively govern them. Yet the episode itself can be understood as evidence of a larger truth—one that both exculpates Stevens somewhat and underlines a broader challenge for internet governance: Namely, that nearly all internet laws and regulations necessarily rely on imperfect metaphor and analogy to keep them in accordance with pre-digital law and constitutional principles, and that even lawmakers and judges with considerable expertise in the field must also rely upon such figurative language. Furthermore, because rhetorical comparisons are fundamentally interpretive, rather than indexical reflections of the things they describe, their use in internet governance amplifies the risk that the prevailing laws and regulations will benefit some users over others, and some uses over others. The internet, in other words, is like a series of analogies. In this article, we catalog many of these analogies and metaphors, document their use in internet governance and policy, and critically investigate how the choice of comparative rhetoric to render the internet knowable introduces hidden bias into the governance process, benefiting some stakeholders over others.

The article presents a method of abuse detection functionality of the most common open source http-servers Nginx and Apache, which currently implement a full web stack and serve more than 60% of traffic on the Internet. The proposed method is based on the application of the mathematical apparatus of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy inference to the selected analysis parameters corresponding to the properties of a logical cyber attack that realizes the vulnerability of web server data. To obtain the most accurate results of fuzzy inference the direction of adaptation of membership functions to the conditions of server operation (changes on the server and analysis of client behavior) based on the application of the mathematical apparatus of genetic algorithms is determined

This paper examines the European Union’s policy regarding internet regulation. EU policy is examined regarding its role in the debate about internet governance at internal and global levels primarily. Based on the document currently accepted by European institutions, the paper first analyses the position of the European Union on key problems connected with the global debate on internet governance, such as the globalization of IANA and ICANN and increasing the role of other participants in the governance process. The paper attempts to reconstruct the current position of the European Union on internet governance and the vision and rules that the EU intends to promote on different platforms of the global discussion on the future of the internet.
