Professor Julia Hornle – ‘Unclaimed Territories in the Clouds: Where are the Limits to Internet Jurisdiction?’

On 21st December 2015 by Mark Walters

Start: 24 February 2016 6:30pm
Categories: Lecture

Wednesday 24 February 2016, 18:30-20:30pm, Queen Mary University of London

The lecture will capture the conflicts of law created by the internet and, most recently the adoption of cloud computing. The internet has enabled unhindered data flows across borders and cloud computing essentially enables the remote processing and storage of vast quantities of data. These technologies fundamentally conflict with laws’ conventional understanding of jurisdiction and the limitation of a state’s power to its territory. The lecture will pinpoint this fundamental conflict with examples from different areas of law: online consumer protection; regulatory conflicts over online gambling; law enforcement’s powers to access foreign data for investigating (cyber-) crime and the regulation of on demand internet videos (porn & hate) and indicate some solutions to these conflicts of law.

This event is taking place at Skeel Lecture Theatre, People’s Palace, Queen Mary University of London, Mile End Road, London E1 4NS.
