Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly, Omar Ayub, criticizes the Digital Nation Pakistan Bill for its potential impact on press freedom and civil liberties.
The bill proposes amendments to cybercrime laws and tighter penalties for disinformation, as well as the creation of a new regulatory authority with the power to block social media platforms.
Omar Ayub argues that the bill disproportionately affects marginalized groups with limited internet access or digital literacy.
He also highlights concerns over non-civilian appointments in the IT sector, which he believes violate privacy laws and compromise citizens' data security.
