The implementation of the global cyber law is a big challenge. But countries can take the lead in implementing the law within their national boundaries. Like the US, which has cyber squatting laws that make cyber squatting a punishable offence. But other countries are very confused and India is one of those countries. In fact, the IT Bill 2000 has a provision wherein the law is not only applicable to Indians but to any contravention or any violation done by anybody anywhere in the world is also liable to the penalties, which is very impractical.
Implementation is a big question mark.
And what I think is practical is that we should bring in local legislation and encourage countries to bring in laws that are implementable within their national boundaries rather than look at the global cyber law. As far as privacy is concerned, I don t think it is an absolute right. The right to privacy has to be viewed in the entire context of your living. I agree that governments should not act as a big brother and snoop over somebody else s work. But if there is reasonable suspicion as to whether the person is doing something that might be harmful to the security of the country or the Internet, then the government has the right to take action against them.
