Dr. Abedin Momeni in an Exclusive Interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/21

Legislating for cyberspace may be challenging, but implementing these laws is, if not more difficult, certainly not easier. The enforcement of laws related to cyberspace requires not only the necessary technical expertise but also consideration of the social and cultural dimensions of the law. At times, practical considerations in implementing a law may influence the law itself, leading to its revision.
🔹We discussed the various dimensions of enforcing laws in cyberspace with Dr. Abedin Momeni, a faculty member at the University of Tehran. The professor in the Department of Jurisprudence and Legal Foundations at the University of Tehran believes that no exceptions should be made in the enforcement of laws, and violating laws is illegitimate for everyone, including officials.
🔍He cited the presence of officials on filtered platforms as an example, which he considers incorrect.

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/20

Implementing laws, if not more challenging and precise than enacting them, is certainly no less so. When addressing a critical, widespread, and sensitive issue like cyberspace, these challenges and sensitivities intensify.
🔹Does the implementation of laws in cyberspace require specific considerations? Has jurisprudential knowledge provided specific insights regarding the method of law implementation? Dr. Mohammad Hossein Zarifian’s response to both questions is affirmative.
🏷Having studied in Islamic seminaries and earned a Ph.D. in Media Management, with a background as the head of the Center for Islamic Media Research, he considers certain jurisprudential and legal principles, such as those related to resolving conflicts of duties, applicable to the implementation of laws.
