Does the DA-Notice system apply to the Internet?
• It does, but, because of the international nature of the net, matters published on foreign websites, like matters published in foreign newspapers, are beyond the influence of the DA-Notice system. How the law (on libel, copyright, commerce, etc, quite apart from that on secrecy) is being applied to the Internet varies from country to country, and there is therefore considerable confusion at present. The position of UK Internet Service Providers as ‘publishers’ is also still unclear. In July 2008 Google agreed to provide a member for the DPBAC to ensure it was fully aware of the implications of all that was happening in this rapidly developing and increasingly important field.
