This refers Business Recorder's editorial 'A deeply flawed draft bill' carried by the newspaper on Saturday. It had been plausibly argued that "the draft law gives the government arbitrary powers to block any website or punish any user of a social media platform. It is obvious that whosoever drafted the bill is aware of neither democratic imperatives nor knowledge of international laws concerning cyber crime."
The authors of this proposed law ought to keep in mind the fact that a cyber law or internet law is a term that encapsulates the legal issues related to use of the internet. They must not also lose sight of the fact that it is a domain that covers many areas of law and regulations. Hence the need for proper examination or the draft cyber crime law.
