The expansive law — which has 16 chapters and 88 articles — includes regulations on Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs, which allow internet users to circumvent website blocks. It penalizes users who access or share media articles and information from banned websites.

This article is a clear indication that the "Right to be Forgotten" is not as far off as some had hoped. Some countries have already enacted laws that allow people to demand their information is wiped from digital mediums of law enforcement. Of course, this goes against most current open records laws. These laws never keep up with technology. How are you going to purge your social sites of missing persons, 'wanted' people, etc.? I've been considering this for years and suggested when with the NYPD that we start only posting photos of wanted or missing individuals to one platform and link to others so if and when this happened, we would only have to purge one site. Just one more future consideration for the strategic PIO. https://lnkd.in/ez36jm49

Counterfeiting in the virtual world The Information Technology Act, 2000 (the IT Act) seeks to curb illegal infringing activities conducted through the use of computers and other technology. The IT Act has stringent provisions and provides for both civil and criminal remedies. Online counterfeiting by way of illegal domain registrations can be tackled through arbitrations proceeding under ‘.in’ Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (INDRP) or the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), by establishing bad faith on the part of the registrant. In cases where the registered domain name comprises an identical or confusingly similar trademark, the aggrieved party can also seek an interim injunction or a permanent removal or transfer of the domain name through a civil lawsuit by adding the domain registrar as a co-defendant.

Federal regulators' crackdown on the off-channel use of WhatsApp and other ephemeral messaging tools, which has yielded more than $3 billion in fines and spurred endless consternation in the financial services industry, is likely headed for the trash heap, regulatory attorneys say. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission have fined more than 100 investment advisers and broker-dealers over the past three years, with the largest players, including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo, anteing up $200 million apiece. The regulators zinged the companies for failing to preserve text messages between employees and customers via phone apps outside the communication channels investment firms normally monitor. Despite the headline-grabbing size of the penalties, and the deluge of training programs firms have launched to bolster compliance, use of the apps remains pervasive. But the enforcement spree, like many of SEC Chair Gary Gensler's highest-profile priorities, is premised on novel legal theories. Regulatory attorneys predict that whoever incoming President Donald Trump appoints to succeed Gensler as chair will abandon the boundary-pushing and focus on issues affecting everyday investors. “All indications are that the SEC’s ‘sweep’ regarding off-channel communications will come to an abrupt end once Trump’s appointees take the reins at the SEC," said David Oliwenstein, a securities enforcement and white-collar defense partner at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman. “I suspect there are some legacy cases that are in the pipeline that the SEC staff will try to finalize before new leadership is appointed, but that should mark the end of the sweep.” Buttressing that view is the fact that the two Republicans on the five-person commission—Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda, both of whom are considered potential successors to Gensler—have criticized the off-channel probe, including the size of the fines and the lack of "an achievable path to compliance." In a statement released in September, Peirce and Uyeda noted that the document-retention rules that the SEC is wielding in its off-channel communications crackdown were adopted in 1997 and “are a product of simpler times" and need to be modernized. "Even well-intentioned firms could find themselves in the Commission’s enforcement queue time and again," they said. Full story from James Palmer: https://lnkd.in/eiJAFdQE
