digital privacy be protected

Image
How can digital privacy be protected? There is a need for an international body that can research and monitor intellectual institutions around the world. So that the governments of different countries do not misuse the personal data of the citizens for the monitoring process. The committee suggested that the European Data Protection Board (EBB) should reach an international agreement on the extent to which it would authorize and monitor the intelligence agencies. The committee said the agreement should be used as a legal tool for independent data protection to be prosecuted. But for that, the data protection organ has yet to be built. The European Union (EU) has called for the establishment of an international data protection body, especially in times of crisis. In such a crisis, the government can take advantage of the unfavorable situation and violate the right to privacy of citizens through legal means. But sometimes national security needs to be monitored if there is a real threat.
