On December 16, 2024, the Pakistan Digital State Law was presented by the Minister of State for Information and Communications Technology, Shiza Fatima Khawaga. This law is promoted to be inserting governance and building a digital economy, but is it really a step forward or a tool for greater control?
With slow internet speeds, censorship, VPN restrictions, and weak data protection laws, can Pakistan deal with this transformation? Will it protect the rights of citizens, or expose them to the risks of cybersecurity and security?
It joins us on profit, and we dismantle the impact of the real draft law and what it means to privacy, digital rights and the future of technology in Pakistan.
