The Senate of Pakistan has passed the National Framework of Action (NFA) Bill to address electronic offences, including deep fakes and other cybercrimes. The bill aims to curb crimes taking place on digital platforms, such as the creation of fake videos and images.
The NFA Bill categorizes electronic crimes, particularly those involving deep fake technology, as serious offences and proposes stringent penalties for such actions. It specifically criminalizes the use of deep fake technology to create fake images or videos of individuals, which can harm reputations and cause public unrest.
The government of Pakistan has stated that this bill is a crucial step in securing the country’s digital environment and protecting the rights of citizens.
With the passage of this bill, stricter measures against electronic crimes are expected in Pakistan, marking an important milestone in the country’s digital law.
