In the 21st century, the virtual space becomes one of the most important areas of human life, which has created challenges for humans to regulate with the rapid evolution and expansion of emerging and converging technologies. This article examines the challenges of emerging regulatory technologies in cyberspace, especially in the Islamic Republic of Iran. These technological developments have provided many opportunities for social, economic and cultural development, but they also bring with them threats such as cyber security, privacy protection and the spread of false information. On the other hand, the complex and multi-stakeholder nature of virtual space and the speed of technological changes make it challenging to regulate this space. In this research, using the qualitative content analysis approach and analytical-descriptive method, the sources and data related to this topic were investigated and the solutions and strategies presented in it were extracted. Then, according to criteria such as compliance with Islamic values and principles, attention to the needs and interests of the audience, coordination with existing policies and laws, and technical and executive feasibility, the proposed solutions and strategies have been evaluated and prioritized. The results show that solutions and strategies based on interaction, cooperation, partnership and ethics have won the most points. At the end, the challenges and ways ahead for implementing solutions and strategies for the future regulation of virtual space have been raised.
