Lao National Assembly passes draft law on the prevention of cybercrime
The Lao National Assembly (NA) passed a draft law on the prevention of cybercrime after it was raised for debate at the ongoing ordinary session of the parliament.
The approved draft will be revised in accordance with recommendations made by the law makers during the debate.
Widespread use of the internet has witnessed its use in both positive and negative manners, thus the law is needed to regulate and manage internet use to maximise its positive potentials, the government has told the NA.
