A number of legislative initiatives attempted to form a "Magna Carta" for the Web to enforce these nascent net rights such as the right to private communication, but these efforts uniformly failed. Yet the repair and maintenance of the technical standards of the Internet itself by the IETF produced a new kind of immanent constitution for the Internet based upon the use of cryptography to defend these rights. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Techné: Research in Philosophy & Technology is the property of Philosophy Documentation Center and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
