Safe Harbor Mechanism for Intermediary Service Providers in the World and Recommendations for Improving Vietnamese Law

Abstract

Intermediary Service Providers (ISPs) are entities that play a crucial role in the modern world, providing Internet services to users. However, violations of the law by users are very common and not only negatively affect cyberspace but also cause ISPs to face legal issues. To address this problem, numerous countries have applied Safe Harbor to protect ISPs from users’ violations and remove these violations from the Internet environment. This paper focuses on reviewing the regulations relating to Safe Harbor in the world and evaluating the potential to apply this mechanism to improve Vietnamese law.
