==Regulatory Environment==
==Regulatory Environment==
Primary responsibility for regulating the internet in Kiravia lies with the federal government, as per the Intercourse Clause of the Fundamental Statute of the Kiravian Federacy, which establishes federal authority to regulate "commerce and communications across and between federal subjects". Because most internet traffic in the Federacy crosses multiple federal subjects, the federal government's ability to assert jurisdiction in matters related to the Internet is wide-reaching, though not unlimited (see ''Union v. Metrea''). However, individual federal subjects also have powers to regulate Internet use within their borders including such matters as the provision of internet service and infrastructure, and the taxation of online purchases.
Theoretically, primary responsibility for regulating the internet in Kiravia lies with the federal government, as per the Intercourse Clause of the [[Constitutional History of Kiravia|Fundamental Statute of the Kiravian Federacy]], which establishes federal authority to regulate "commerce and communications across and between federal subjects". Because most internet traffic in the Federacy crosses multiple federal subjects, the federal government's ability to assert jurisdiction in matters related to the Internet is wide-reaching, though not unlimited (see ''Union v. Metrea''). Individual federal subjects also have the authority to regulate Internet use within their borders including such matters as the provision of internet service and infrastructure, and the taxation of online purchases.


Regulation of the internet falls within the purview of the [[Kiravian Signals Executive|Executive for Signals, Wiring, and Digital Development]].
In practice, however, internet regulation has become an important example of concurrent federal and provincial jurisdiction. Federal legislation and agencies have tended to focus on 'macro'-level systemic matters such as technical standards, infrastructure, cybersecurity readiness, and regulation of digital finance. 'Micro'-level regulatory matters concerning the online activities of individual persons or entities generally fall to the provinces. This arrangement has become especially consequential with regard to {{wp|Copyright infringement|copyright enforcement}}, as requests to shut down servers hosting pirated material usually require the coöperation of provincial authorities who are often unable and/or unwilling to take timely action. ''International Business Monthly'' notes that
 
Within the federal bureaucracy, internet-related matters are the responsibility of the [[Kiravian Signals Executive|Executive for Signals, Wiring, and Digital Development]].
