Rights Groups Express Apprehension on Data Protection Act

Rights Groups Express Apprehension on Data Protection Act

Imagine a new law about protecting people's private information online.

Some groups are worried this law might make it harder to get important information from the government, like how things are run.

They think the law could stop journalists from writing stories about important issues and stop people from reporting wrongdoing.

This is because the law might allow the government to hide information by calling it 'personal', even if it's important for the public to know.

They are concerned this new law could limit people's right to find out information and to speak freely.
