Conflicto de leyes y censura en internet: el caso Yahoo!
1Sistema de Universidad Virtual, Universidad de Guadalajara. Correo electrónico: davidrampla@yahoo.com.mx
Este trabajo examina uno de los conflictos legales más importantes relacionados con la censura y la regulación de internet. Originado en el año 2000, el caso Yahoo! representa un hecho paradigmático no sólo por el problema normativo entre dos países, Estados Unidos y Francia, sino porque saca a debate los aspectos más problemáticos de la protección de la libre expresión en los medios de comunicación. Visto desde el aspecto legal, el caso Yahoo! nos alerta ante la posibilidad de la aparición de intromisiones judiciales extraterritoriales que, amparadas bajo el supuesto manto de la justicia, buscan imponer sus valores morales a los usuarios de internet.
Palabras clave: internet; censura; concurrencia jurídica; extraterritorialidad
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
