Abstract
ABSTRACT The article focuses on online content regulation in France and Germany. We examine institutional characteristics and actor constellations that led to different policy choices and situate these in the broader discussion on Internet content regulation. While in the early 1990s courts were settling disputes regarding problematic content by applying existing regulation to the digital realm, both countries have since chosen separate regulatory paths. France opted for legislative control, while Germany developed a system of “regulated self-regulation,” in which private actors self-regulate with limited state supervision. Both cases provide insights into the possibilities and limits of state intervention on the Internet.
