Discuss (a) Code as law

The concept: the cyberspace's-law (the digital-environment's rules (the "cyber" = the networked- computing-world (the internet's-and-the-devices' space))); the law's-questions (the same-old- wrongs-new-tools (the fraud-the-theft-the-defamation-online) + the genuinely-new (the hacking (the data (the platform's-power)))). The evolution's-lines: 1. The technology's-march: the ARPANET-to-the-internet (the 1969-to-the-1990s' (the web's- democratisation)); the mobile-and-the-social (the 2000s'-everyone-online); the cloud-and-the- AI (the 2010s'-the-data-era (the 2020s'-the-generative-turn)). 2. The law's-responses' waves: the first (the 1970s'-80s' computer-crime-statutes (the hacking's-and-the-wire-fraud's)); the second (the 1990s'-2000s' comprehensive-acts (the IT- Act-India-2000-type; the ETA-Nepal-2063's-own-wave)); the third (the data-protection-and-the- platform (the GDPR-2016-type-era)); the fourth (the AI-and-the-cyber-security (the risk-based- regulation's-dawn (the EU-AI-Act-era))).
