English abstract:
The existing border-less cyberspace is mainly the result of the open network architecture of IPv4. This structure does not obey principles of territorial jurisdiction of states. The Yahoo! case demonstrates needs of states and existing limits of IPv4. IPv6 offers extensive geographic tracking allowing a nationalisation of cyberspace. In the future, content filtering may be replaced by blocking of user groups. As privacy and non-discrimination are endangered the final IPv6 should minimise negative effects but also jurisdictions should focus on the challenges of civil liberties in cyberspace.
