互联网的快速发展使之形成了一个与现实社会对应的虚拟世界。在这一社会里,由于网络所具有的无界性、技术性等特点,在这一社会中正在形成类似于国际贸易中的商人习惯法那样的网络社会自治的规则体系,即网络习惯法。在该体系中,网络标准、网络规则、网络社会形成的合同惯例等发挥着重要作用。国家在网络规制中的作用虽被相对削弱,但仍然起着维护国家和社会公共利益的作用。 The rapid development of the Internet has led to the formation of a virtual world corresponding to the real world. In this society, due to the unbounded and technical characteristics of the Internet, a system of rules similar to the customary law of merchants in international trade is being formed in this society, that is, the network customary law. In this system, network standards, network rules and contractual conventions formed by the Internet society play an important role. Although the role of the state in network regulation has been relatively weakened, it still plays a role in safeguarding the public interest of the country and society.
