RAMIREZ PLASCENCIA, David. Conflicto de leyes y censura en internet: el caso Yahoo!. Comun. soc [online]. 2007, n.8, pp.155-178. ISSN 0188-252X.

This work examines one the most important legal conflicts related with censorship and Internet regulation. Originated in 2000, the Yahoo! Case represents a paradigmatic event, not only for the normative problem between two countries: United States and France, but it brings to debate the most problematic aspects of the protection of free expression in communication media. Viewing it from the legal aspect, The Yahoo! Case alerts about the possibility of extraterritorial judicial intromissions that sheltered under a doubtful justice, look to impose their moral values to the Internet users.

Keywords : internet; censorship; normative concurrence; extraterritoriality.
