Purpose of paragraph

Structure

P4 provides additional support for the author’s claim in P1 that the Internet can’t be effectively controlled by traditional methods of legislation and law enforcement. Notice that P4 begins, “The Internet also gives rise to situations in which regulation is needed but cannot be provided within the existing framework.” The author uses “also” because previous paragraphs present other evidence to support the author’s claim in P1.

to call into ████████ ███ █████████ ██ ███ ████████ ████████ ██ ███ ██████ █████████

P4 doesn’t question the relevance of anything in P2. P4, along with P2, contains support for the author’s claim about the Internet in P1.

to provide a █████████ ████████████ ████ █████████ ███ ███████ █████ ████ ██ ███ █████ █████████

P4 doesn’t question the claim in P1. The author points out that the Internet leads to situations that require regulations outside the existing framework. This supports the author’s claim in P1 that the Internet presents serious difficulties for traditional approaches to legislation and law enforcement.

to summarize the █████████ ████████ ██ ███ ██████ ███ █████ ██████████

P4 isn’t a summary of previous arguments. It contains an additional argument to support the author’s claim about the Internet in P1.

to continue the ████████ ████ ██████ ██ ███ █████ █████████

P4 doesn’t continue the argument from P3. It raises a separate argument. P3 involves problems associated with trademark enforcement. P4 involves problems associated with government access to communications.

to provide an ██████████ ████████ ██ ███████ ██ ███ ███████ █████ ████ ██ ███ █████ █████████

This best captures the purpose of P4. The author points out that the Internet leads to situations that require regulations outside the existing framework. This supports the author’s claim in P1 that the Internet presents serious difficulties for traditional approaches to legislation and law enforcement.
