    CYBER LAWS AROUND THE WORLD

                     Cyber laws are not just important in India; they are a global necessity. Different countries have

                     their own laws to handle cybercrimes and protect their citizens online. Let's take a look at how
                     some countries deal with cybercrimes:

                         USA: The USA has strict laws against cyberbullying. Students can even face suspension or
                        expulsion from school for online harassment.
                         European Union  (EU): The EU has a  very strong  law called  the  General Data  Protection
                        Regulation (GDPR). This law protects people's privacy, and websites must ask for permission
                        before collecting personal data.

                         Singapore: Singapore has tough punishments for hacking and spreading false information
                        online. They take online security and trust very seriously.

                     As you can see, cyber laws aim to achieve the same goal everywhere—ensuring safe, respectful,
                     and fair use of technology.
