It is the control of what a person can share online.
Intellectual Property (IP)?
Intellectual properties refer to intangible property that is the result of creativity, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks etc.
Because it is intangible (unable to be touched or having no physical presence), IP is more difficult to be protected.
