Group Calls For Stronger Data Privacy Measures Instead of SIM Registration

A digital advocacy group urged the government to prioritize data privacy protection and public education over SIM registration to effectively combat digital scams.

The government should strengthen the country’s data privacy protection and public education to combat digital scams , a digital advocacy group said Thursday.In a statement, Junk Sim Registration Network said that even if updating the SIM Registration Act is part of the government’s efforts to curb digital scams in the country, “addressing cybercrimes as a complex and high-tech field needs more than just asking the subscribers to enroll their SIM cards.

The group also said SIM registration creates a database that could be a target for cyber attacks, contrary to its purpose of protecting users against text-related crimes.“Comprehensive data privacy protection and educating the public against digital scams which are supposed to be the primary responsibilities of the government are more imperative than reviewing and revising the SIM Registration Act,” the group said.
