Justice (Retd) Arun Kumar Mishra, chair of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), advocated for a strict rule to address “illegal Internet behavior and cyber crimes” on Thursday. NHRC Chief was addressing following the 25th All India Forensic Science Conference’s opening ceremony at Gandhinagar’s National Forensic Sciences University.
“Promoting internet ethics is essential.
Additionally, the government should enact strict laws to deter and punish illegal Internet behavior and cybercrimes “The former judge of the Supreme Court added.
According to NHRC Chief , several nations have changed their legal frameworks “particularly to cope with cyber crimes as well as the development of other forms of crimes.”
According to Mishra, the amount of freedom of expression that applies to “social media and cyberspace” is not “greater” than the amount given to people or the media.
As per Article 19 of the Constitution, the freedom of expression granted to the public or to the media is equivalent to or does not exceed the freedom of expression granted to social media or the internet. Therefore, there needs to be strict legislation to address cybercrime. Misuse ought to be dealt with severely, he said.
The former judge continued by saying that cyberspace was being utilized to violate people’s civil and human rights as well as their right to privacy.
“Cyberspace is violating the freedom to live with dignity and invading the privacy of online personalities. The key to thwarting cybercrime and upholding human rights is cyber security. According to international surveys, India is second in targeted attacks and third in cyber threats.
