Rationale

Current laws fail to protect privacy, stifle innovation, and enable overreach. These reforms empower citizens with stronger rights, reduce surveillance, and ensure a fairer digital future.

Proposed Changes

	Law	Previous	Proposed
1	Data Privacy & Digital Rights	Basic data protection (consent required; breach notification; opt-out rights)	Strict data rights (right to deletion; algorithmic transparency; heavy fines for violations)
2	Internet Freedom	Moderate regulation (illegal content removed; platforms must verify age; data rules enforced)	Light-touch regulation (net neutrality; limited takedown orders for serious crime only)
3	State Surveillance Powers	Targeted surveillance (court order required; independent oversight commissioner)	Strict privacy protections (right to encryption; no bulk data collection; facial recognition banned)
