Abstract

In recent decades, the Internet has entered the daily lives of humanity and its use has expanded day by day. This research has been done by analytical-descriptive method with the aim of investigating the nature and effects of "free access to the Internet". It was concluded that the Internet was, at first sight, a tool, and according to similar arguments, its use had the same nature and legal effect as defined for the principle of the act. Accordingly, whatever punishment is prescribed by law for the use of the Internet as a tool is of the same criminal nature. According to international law documents, respect for the privacy of individuals is recommended and the implementation of this principle is entrusted to the domestic laws of countries, which is also one of the frameworks governing the Internet. Governments have a responsibility to provide the minimum access to the Internet in the national interest and have no right to disconnect except in special circumstances. To ensure the equal rights of all human beings, governments are required to provide special Internet facilities for people with disabilities and people with disabilities to be able to do things that they are unable to do due to disability. Finally, national security is the most important concern of governments in setting the framework for the use of the Internet.
