Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Mohammad Kahvand, in an Exclusive Interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/24

Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Mohammad Kahvand is one of the clerics who is not only familiar with modern technologies but also seriously engages in content and product production in this field. A member of the Cyberspace Steering Committee at the Center for Management of the Islamic Seminary, he has founded one of the most important computer game production companies and has been engaged in research and production in the realm of cyberspace and technology for years. We discussed with him the requirements of legislation in cyberspace. While complaining that the basis of legislation in the country is a minimalist approach to jurisprudence, whereas effective laws are those written with a maximalist approach, he noted: It should not be imagined that all violations in cyberspace must be criminalized.
