Abstract
Internet as a modern phenomenon of the contemporary world has caused the development of huIraman societies. The sovereignty must regulate the relations between individual citizens in the cyberspace. Undoubtedly, the scope of the people authorities and freedoms in the cyberspace is completely different from those of the real space. The maintenance of privacy, the prohibition of pornography, protection of copyright, etc., require the limitation on the users’ scope of activity. The Constitution explicates the outlines of the citizens’ rights and freedoms. The question that arises is whether the current laws can respond to the challenges of cyber space or do we need legislation in this area? It seems that The question that arises is whether the current laws can respond to the challenges of cyber space or do we need legislation in this area? the rules of self-regulation cannot regulate the relations of people of the nation in this space.By enacting a comprehensive law, appropriate to the society's culture and ethics, and in accordance with the unquestionable principles of the Constitution and the protection of public rights and freedoms, action should be taken. In this case, blind adaptation of the laws of other countries should be avoided.
