Warrant Required for Digital Data Access
This new law mandates that government entities obtain a court warrant before accessing digital data, including metadata, held by internet service providers. This means greater online privacy protection for citizens, as their data cannot be shared without court approval. The changes also apply to data stored for extended periods, strengthening control over digital information access.
