Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) has called for a comprehensive revision of the draft Cyber Security (Amendment) Act. The organization argues that if passed in its current form, the law will transform Bangladesh’s cyberspace into a repressive environment. TIB emphasized the necessity of incorporating feedback from relevant experts and stakeholders. It also highlights the importance of aligning the legislation with international best practices in cybersecurity. The call for revision prioritizes protecting digital rights and preventing misuse of the law. TIB believes a reworked draft is crucial to ensure a balanced approach to cyber security in Bangladesh, safeguarding both security and fundamental freedoms. The organization’s statement urges lawmakers to reconsider the current proposal.
