The Government of Bangladesh has initiated a process to modernize the laws, regulations, and policies under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to align with the realities of the digital age. Information and Broadcasting Minister Zahir Uddin Swapan announced the initiative during a meeting at the ministry on Sunday, emphasizing the need for updated legal frameworks to address challenges arising from rapid technological development and the expansion of the digital ecosystem.
According to the minister, the review of all existing laws and regulations under the ministry has already begun. The committee will identify areas requiring modernization, new legislation, or legal reform. Swapan noted that the ministry’s scope has expanded beyond print and broadcast media to include numerous digital platforms that often fall outside current legal coverage. The committee has been tasked with studying relevant laws from the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States to develop a framework suited to Bangladesh’s context.
The minister also stressed the importance of coordination among government and private stakeholders, including technology experts and telecommunications entities, to ensure effective regulation of digital services and cyber activities.
