Supreme Court asks Centre to consider mechanism against cybercrime and digital harms

In a recent directive, the Supreme Court urged the Centre to confront pressing issues related to cybercrime, particularly regarding online threats and the unauthorized release of private information. Highlighted by a Public Interest Litigation, the necessity for robust supervision against digital harms has been made clear. The court mandates that ministries assess a proposal concerning these significant concerns. Timely responses from appropriate authorities and stakeholders are expected moving forward.
