Summary
This chapter concludes the section on rule-setting and ‘private law beyond the state’. With this concept, the question is also raised as to whether particular areas de facto constitute or even should constitute a sphere ‘outside the law’. One of the most striking examples in this respect can be found with the Internet and in particular with clashes of opinion in the digital sphere (see also Chapter 16). The most direct conflict might well be that of hate speech (and other insults, threats etc.)
