Abstract

The age of internet has completely changed the jurisdictional principle of nations. From territorial jurisdiction, the countries are now following the principle of universal jurisdiction. While this has helped in gaining access to data, it has still not been enough to curb cyber crimes and other misuse of data. The article introduces the concept of jurisdiction, the need for regulating the Internet, compares the jurisdictional policies around the world and finally suggests ways in which the Internet can be governed in a better manner.
