Summary: Talking in Different Languages: The Comparative Impact of Cultural and Legal Differences on Social Media in an International Context

A probing survey on how social media is used in various countries and how that use emerges from the political, philosophical and IP regimes of those countries. What legal issues are raised by this varied social media use, particularly regarding IP? Ultimately, what are the idiosyncratic cultural characteristics of certain countries and what conflicts may emerge between them as social media?

The largest bar association in the U.S., it seeks to improve the legal profession, ensure the availability of legal services to all citizens, and improve the administration of justice. It conducts educational and research projects, sponsors professional meetings, and publishes a monthly journal. At the beginning of the 21st century its membership exceeded 400,000.; American Bar Association (ABA) on britannica.com
international law: Body of legal rules, norms, and standards that apply between sovereign states and other entities that are legally recognized as international actors. The term was coined by the English philosopher Jeremy Bentham. Important elements of international law include sovereignty, recognition (which allows a country to honour the claims of another), consent (which allows for modifications in international agreements to fit the customs of a country), freedom of the high seas, self-defense (which ensures that measures may be taken against illegal acts committed against a sovereign country), freedom of commerce, and protection of nationals abroad. International courts, such as the International Court of Justice, resolve disputes on these and other matters, including war crimes. See also asylum; immunity.; international law on britannica.com
