Description :

This book, published by the “Center for Information Technology and Digital Media Development”, is one of the books that this center has compiled and published in line with its mission to promote the correct culture of living in cyberspace and increase user safety in this environment. This book is a translation of the report of the “Commission on Online Child Protection Law” and is a prime example of a public policy document in the field of cyberspace commissioned by the United States Congress in the year 2000, but according to the experts of this center, despite the passage of more than ten years since the preparation of this report and the occurrence of numerous developments in the field of information technology and communications, this document remains useful and valuable in many respects. The description of the status and importance of this report is provided in the first chapter of the book. Since the report and its appendices are considered official documents, utmost effort was made during the translation to remain faithful to the original text. The phrases placed in parentheses include explanations that were similarly included in the original report, and items placed in brackets have been added by the translators and editors for easier comprehension of the text. At the same time, efforts have been made to ensure that the translated text is simple and fluent for the Persian-speaking reader, but due to the specialized nature of the subject, in some cases the Persian translation has become somewhat difficult. To resolve this problem, the English equivalents of specialized terms or difficult words are mentioned in the footnotes, and at the end, these terms along with a brief description are provided in the form of a Persian-to-Latin glossary. The translator and scientific editor of the work, Seyed Arash Vakilian, wherever additional explanation was needed to understand the content, has tried to provide explanations in the footnotes, and wherever changed conditions arose due to technological and methodological shifts, has stated them. He has also mentioned matters such as the accessibility and effectiveness of a technology and method that have changed over time; therefore, all explanations included in the footnotes, except for cases where the term (Report) is explicitly stated, are written by the scientific editor. To be aware of all necessary information regarding the framework of the legal system and cultural attitude of the United States, more explanations are needed than what has been provided in this document and the footnotes.
