Summary/Abstract: The rapid development of the Internet, primarily through technological improvements in infrastructure, has allowed the development of increasingly complex online communication systems, which has led to the emergence of a complex virtual communication environment. At the same time, the high-speed online data transfer allows for the easy circulation of various information, globally. But not all data can be transmitted freely, under any circumstances. That is why it is necessary to implement restrictions regarding the transmission of information, which are implemented through various technical means. But this can, on the other hand, restrict freedom of expression. It is, therefore, essential that the Internet remains, as much as possible, a neutral environment, so that all users benefit equitably from this virtual communication environment.
