Why Are Policies In Cyberspace Not Protecting Citizens? | Dawn News English
Several weeks ago, a LinkedIn user shared a video about a man in Lahore whose CNIC had been used to post bail for different people in separate cases. The man told a vlogger that he had gone to a xerox shop to get his CNIC photocopied. Some time later, he discovered that his ID was being used by various individuals. “I have been tracing where my ID has been used for a year and have moved to court as well,” he said.
Cases like this are not uncommon in Pakistan. Some days, you receive marketing messages from businesses you've never shopped from; other times, you get calls from scammers pretending to be bank employees, threatening you with your bank details, which they somehow have access to.
In this episode of DigiPod, our host and digital rights activist, Farieha Aziz, speaks with Sindhu Abbasi, a cybercrime and tech policy reporter, discussing why policies in cyberspace are failing to protect citizens.
