If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?
would change the law to establish digital privacy as a fundamental human right worldwide. In today’s world, almost every part of our lives communication, banking, education, health, work, and entertainmen happens online. Yet personal data is often collected, stored, sold, or misused without clear consent or understanding. This law would require all governments, companies, and organizations to be fully transparent about what data they collect, why they collect it, how long they keep it, and who they share it with.
The law would give individuals full control over their personal information, including the right to access it, correct it, delete it, and refuse its sale or misuse. It would also strictly limit mass surveillance, ensuring that any monitoring must be lawful, necessary, and proportionate, with strong oversight to prevent abuse of power.
By protecting digital privacy, this law would increase trust in technology, reduce cybercrime and identity theft, safeguard freedom of expression, and promote safer online environments for everyone especially children and vulnerable groups. Ultimately, it would balance innovation with human rights, ensuring that technological progress serves people, not exploits them.
