Along with the expansion of internet networks, communication in the cyberspace has become freer and easier than ever before. Despite the bright side, it also contains the dark side such as the spread of unlawful and indecent information. In this paper, I discussed the definition of the on-line sexual harassment, the extent, examples. On-line sexual harassment is defined as an act making someone feel unpleasant or threatened through sex-related words and images. With the rising number of victims from the on-line sexual harassment, the need for regulation has increased. Two kinds of regulations are discussed; the regulation through law and the regulation through the efforts of internet service providers. In this paper, I examined which approach is more efficient for reducing the on-line sexual harassment. Unlike in the off-line, the offense on the on-line is done through words and image rather than action. Because of the nature of the offense, regulation of on-line sexual harassment is faced with the issue of limiting the freedom of speech, the fundamental right of the citizen. In reviewing the cases in the States, we observed how Americans perceive the regulation in conflict with the freedom of speech. Considering the nature of internet communication and the freedom of speech, I think the regulations through the efforts of internet service providers and users are more effective than through laws.
