Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace

Code and other laws of cyberspace are rules made to help keep the internet safe, secure and fair for everyone. They help protect people online by setting clear guidelines that everyone has to follow. For example, it could be a rule saying that no one is allowed to post mean or hurtful things about someone else online. These laws help to make sure that people are playing nice with each other and that the internet is a safe and fun place. Another way these rules can help is by setting limits on what people can and cannot do, such as stopping people from stealing other people's information or from breaking into websites. Sometimes these rules are called codes because they provide a set of instructions on how things should work and be done responsibly on the internet.
