“…Studies on cyberspace and related issues have generated interest among security researchers in recent times (Hu, Chen, & Basu, 2013;Placid & Wynekoop, 2011). The cyberspace is a global entity common to every country, but it is not perceived in the same way everywhere, as this study points out.…”

The cyberspace is becoming one of the main elements of vulnerability in national security and has led to a critical situation because the system is always more focused on information sharing and on quick communication all over the world than security. The cyberspace is, in fact, the "easier vector" of the information environment, comprising independent networks of different communication and telecommunication infrastructures. Through this vector it is possible to perform a wide range of cyber-attacks, causing possibly huge negative effects on systems and assets; however, these attacks do not cause human loss or physical damages to the society. In order to protect from this danger, it is necessary to understand and analyze how many and which are the risks as well as the possible actions needed to minimize the consequences of a dangerous event.

“…In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court attempted to balance society's interest in free speech under the U.S. Constitution and the state's interest in protecting the reputation of their citizens. In New York Times v. Sullivan (1964), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state defamation laws, including libel, are limited by the principles espoused in the First Amendment where the matter involves a public issue (Placid & Wynekoop, 2011). In this case, a group of civil rights activists placed an ad in the New York Times that alleged that the arrest of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. for perjury by the police department of Montgomery, Alabama, was part of a campaign to destroy King's efforts to end segregation.…”

Social media websites have become a powerful communication tool, where an individual can communicate with one person or millions of people at once. As a consequence, individuals are utilizing social media to report newsworthy events, as well as to post opinions, which may include posting negative information about another person or entity that can be harmful to such person's or entity's reputation (i.e., defamation), a phenomenon that is new to the legal system. This article reviews the legal precedent in the United States that addresses the legal impact of a defamatory statement sent through a social media website such as Twitter. Although the law in the United States is evolving, precedent indicates that website's nature is generally less important than the nature of the communication. However, the law is not settled for cases in which a private tweet is released into the public domain unintentionally or by an accidental cause, such as a software defect.

“…For some, it was geographically separate area-a real space, international, independent, and separated from the territory of the states (Deibert et al, 2012). Yet, the anonymity and autonomy of cyberspace facilitate aggression against state sovereignty and make it quite difficult to identify and locate trespassers (Placid & Wynekoop, 2011). This creates legal challenges as well as problematic jurisdictional vacuums.…”

This paper discusses one of the contemporary challenging issues-it is the challenge of e-commerce to the sovereignty of the state, where governments are unable to implement their own laws on disputed cases resulting from trans-border e-commerce interactions. The objective of the current research is to draw attention to the impact of international characteristics of e-commerce on the sovereignty of state, and to identify the factors affecting this sovereignty. The issue of the dynamicity of time and place will be taken into consideration, where activities carried out over the internet are characterized by their cross-border dimension. Based on real e-commerce case studies disputed on international level, this paper will draw on the legal perspective of cyberspace, identifying the relationship between cyberspace and state sovereignty, and outlining the mechanisms by which cyberspace could cross borders and the territory of the state despite all the precautions taken by the state to protect its sovereignty.
