Abstract

The growing use of cyberspace has been the source of new challenges in how to organize and regulate people's relationships in cyberspace. There are two different approaches in this regard. The first approach seeks to create a new legal system for cyberspace by emphasizing the characteristics of cyberspace and the opposite one considers it possible to regulate this space with the existing legal by emphasizing the capacities of the legal system and the tools of cyberspace, systems. Adopting any of these approaches in the field of implementation is confronted with challenges; Therefore, this article has reached the conclusion with a descriptive-analytical method and using library resources that by adopting the middle approach, which eliminates the shortcomings of each approach, the preparations for organizing cyberspace can be provided in a more appropriate way.
