The internet has allowed information to be freely or at least easily accessible to anyone in the world. It has allowed people to share thoughts about so many things which would otherwise have been confined to one's notes or computer.

However, it has also allowed people to "share" untruthful allegations or outright libelous/malicious materials that easily destroy one's reputation through the internet. In this sense, regulation may be desirable if only from the perspective of mitigating such effects.

On the other hand, privacy issues as well as freedom of expression potentially collides with any form of regulation in the internet. This dilemma has yet to be addressed by law makers/policy makers which hopefully can present an acceptable solution.
