  • 4chan和Kiwi Farms在美国法院提起诉讼
  • 他们质疑Ofcom在《在线安全法》下的管辖权

事件经过: 美国论坛在法律上挑战英国监管机构的权威性

两家总部位于美国的互联网论坛——4chan和Kiwi Farms,已在美国法院起诉英国监管机构Ofcom。他们反对被强制要求遵守英国《在线安全法》。他们声称该法律通过适用于英国境外的网站而超越了其管辖范围。他们表示这违反了美国宪法第一修正案所保护的言论自由。该案主张,Ofcom有权对美国实体进行民事、刑事处罚并移交执法部门是不合理的。该诉讼旨在阻止Ofcom对美国运营商执行该法案。Ofcom已确认知晓此案。该监管机构坚称,任何与英国有关联的平台都必须遵守该法案规定的安全义务。

为何重要

这场法律战揭示了互联网治理与言论自由之间的根本矛盾。该争端凸显出国家法律在全球适用时可能发生冲突。美国实体享有强大的宪法保护,这与英国的监管模式不一致。Ofcom关于与英国有关联的平台必须遵守当地规则的立场引发了复杂问题。判决结果可能会为数字监管机构能在多大程度上将其权限扩展至国际范围树立先例。它也可能影响各国如何设计影响全球平台的法律。此案可能促使各方就协调安全目标与主权及言论自由展开对话。 另见: FCC 以许可限制支持光纤建设者.
