Abstract:
The internet is just like a very big and busy market; it has several kinds of activities going on at the same time. No doubt, the internet has transformed the entire world into a global village and made interactions between individuals and entities unrestricted by borders and geographical delimitations, resulting in increase in trade, tourism, and communication among others. However, the internet is not without its downsides to humanity. It has not only created novel crimes but has also been employed in aid of the commission of various crimes. This article gives a critical inroad on the relevance of the internet to humanity in modern times, analyses its downsides, evaluates the legal implications and dynamics of the same and finally makes a case for the restoration of its integrity.
