for example take scams
if someone gets scammed when buying an item from a website they are able to tell everyone else in the world that they were scammed and soon enough the message will get passed on and people will know not to go there. Its the people that lack basic internet knowledge that think that internet is just for email and games etc but if you have something to say you can say it and people will listen.

This forum is regulating the internet too as people here advise members about there site being illegal etc and also advises people on what content to put on there sites to keep within the laws
