                      The increasing  use  of  the  Internet  has  led  to  the  development  of  cyber  law. With  technology
                      advancing rapidly,  it  became  clear that  rules were  needed  to  protect  both  individuals  and
                      organisations in the digital world. Cyber law ensures that online activities are secure, responsible,
                      and safe for everyone involved.

                                        “Just like you follow traffic rules when you are on the road, the digital world

                                          also has its own set of rules called Cyber Laws. These laws help protect
                                         people online and guide us on how to use the Internet safely. By following
                                                      them, you become a responsible digital citizen.”

                      UNDERSTANDING CYBER LAWS

                      Cyber law is a set of rules that govern rights, responsibilities, and crimes in the digital world. It
                      protects users from issues like hacking, online fraud, cyberbullying, identity theft, and the misuse
                      of personal information. For instance, if someone gains access to your Instagram account without
                      permission, cyber law allows you to report the incident and seek legal assistance. These laws play
                      an important role in making the Internet a safer and fairer place for everyone.
